Dear Colleagues, I am looking for data on public space recycling in large U.S. cities. In particular, I am interested in how large U.S. cities have dealt with the following challenges to this practice: - pedestrian contamination of recycling bins with garbage and/or plastics not targeted under the local recycling program - additional collection and transport costs and vehicular environmental impacts, especially in relation to small tonnages collected - criteria for selection of areas in which to provide public space recycling (pedestrian traffic, economic activity, symbolic significance of place, public/private ownership, etc.) - resistance to public space recycling projects by contracted haulers, retailers, or others. Thank you very much, Samantha MacBride Senior Policy Analyst Bureau of Waste Prevention, Reuse and Recycling New York City Department of Sanitation 44 Beaver Street, 6th floor New York, NY 10004 phone: 917-237-5674 fax: 212-837-8263 |
