Is that true...NY is the ONLY city to provide full curbside to all
households? I know many cities do...maybe they mean even multi-family?

Thought you all might like to see this view about recycling in New York
City
from the UK:

According to the article "High Diversion -- is it Achievable?", found in
the
July-August 2004 issue of Waste Management World (the journal of the
International Solid Waste Association), "New York is the only US city to
provide a full kerbside recycling service to all its households... It
thus
provides an important benchmark against which to assess the recycling
performance of other large metropolitan conurbations."
