Our project studies the issue of inequity when it comes to recycling in New York City and how it contributes to the overall low recycling rate of the city.
NYC is falling behind other major cities such as Seattle and San Francisco in terms of waste diversion. Each individual has the ability to properly dispose of materials to limit their impact on landfills and move towards a zero waste lifestyle. Greater regulation and education is necessary for New York to become a zero waste city.
