Berlin's Approach to Recycling: Why Not in NYC?
When you’re walking around Berlin, you can’t help but notice the clusters of large recycling bins that dot the city. It got us wondering why New York doesn’t do something similar. It would certainly be simpler and, we’d think, more effective than the current confusing curb-side system. Anyone know the reason?

You’ll get one of those drumming guys bangin’ on these babies all day
congestion pricing was squashed by a bunch of people (well the representatives of a bunch of people) from queens/brookly/LI who want the right to drive 1 person to an SUV into manhattan…maybe it wasnt the right solution but it was at least a step in the right direction to make the city more liveable and Albany killed it…
i bet they blow up real good, too.
Was Bloomberg;scongestion pricing approved? has anyone heard the details?
Finding Body Parts in the re-cycling bins would really only be a problem in Red Hook. And occassionally on South Oxford Street.
There’s just less civic pride in NY. It’s a city that never overhauled their electric grid and subway system (ka-boom!), why should they bother with the trash?
I really miss these European recycling places, it makes more sense to bring away your stuff when it suits you, not waiting for collection day.
But I have a feeling everything ends up on the same heap in Staten Island anyway.
“confusing curb-side system”? Oh come on. If people are confused about recycling in NY, they really have no business owning a brownstone. and i bet if those bins turned up anywhere in brooklyn, this site would be the first to condemn them.
whats up with all the nasty grafiti in Berlin
really nasty
NYC housing projects don’t have recycling in the compactor rooms on each floor of the buildings. They have bins outside on the street. They are ugly but not as ugly as these!
