Monthly Forum: Recycling Today: How It works and What You Can Do To Improve
It

[image: image.png]

The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) picks up over 10,000 tons of
garbage and recycling each day!  There’s a lot of things that you throw out
each day that can be recycled– about 77% of your waste – that you are not
aware of.  On top of that, some of the recycling in New York City is done
so efficiently, it will literally recycle your entire brain about the
possibilities.



Please join us to meet two of our best urban recycling leaders so you can
become a better leader of the NYC and world recycling community.

*Location*: Hӓfele America Co. 20 W. 22nd Street, Suite 201, New York, NY
