I'm asking this because my uncle works at a landfill in Pennsylvania, and he told me that a good 50% of the garbage they get from NYC is the sorted recycling (from apartment buildings) in clear plastic bags. Anyone know?|||NYC is only recycling what makes a profit. That is why the stopped collecting the leaves and a few years ago stopped collecting plastic. Paper still makes a profit as does glass. Metal has value. Plastic is only good if giving it separate treatment means it does not cost something to dispose of like the rest of NYC garbage.
