Save the Earth    Recycle!    

July 2002:

This is part of what we wrote to the NYC Mayor's Office:

I am a Long Island resident who works in midtown Manhattan. I hereby protest the recent changes in NYC recycling policy. NYC should continue to recycle plastic and glass along with all other recyclables. Some things are more important than saving money.

We got an answer from the mayor's office, but our email didn't change anything. sad smiley But at least we knew we tried to do something to help.


July 2003: Good News! smiley

A little before July 1, 2003, this was posted on the New York City Department of Sanitation website:

Citywide Plastic Recycling Resumes Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 1st
Sanitation Commissioner John J. Doherty announced today that the City will resume its plastic recycling collection program citywide tomorrow, Tuesday, July 1st. The designated plastic recyclables are: plastic bottles and jugs including beverage, milk, and juice cartons. All other plastics will be considered garbage. [...]Glass recycling will resume in April 2004.

It's too bad that other plastic things won't get recycled, but it's really cool about the bottles and containers.
