Picking Up by Robin Lang all about Department of Sanitation New York City

Transfer Station Tractor Trailers at Michigan Landfill.

 

There's a guy in Georgia Dan's Vlogs on You Tube he's a roll off dumpster truck driver and does landscaping work. He had a video of him self at a landfill during the day in a rain storm everyone was getting stuck in the mud and the landfill bulldozer was having to push and pull everyone out.

 

So it turns out there was a story on the news earlier this week. I know in New York City Recycling is I think the law?

Well, here in Cuyahoga County in Cleveland come summer time there will be a plastic bag ban, because County Council voted for it. Now the City of Cleveland has decided nahh were not going to ban plastic bags from the city the county council can go screw it's self.

Anyway, this must have been a slow news week because there was a 7 minute story on the local news about the schools I don't know what the schools are crying about now, doesn't matter anyway and then there was a big story about plastic pollution in Lake Erie. Especially around Cleveland.

I understand recyclables get exported to other countries and they dump all those bails of recyclables out into the ocean I understand they do that and it's maybe not the best practice, but to my knowledge there not dumping bails of recyclables in Lake Erie, but to hear the news talk the lake is pretty much totally contaminated with plastic and at this point in time there is more plastic then water in the lake. Now granted were banning plastic straws and bags which should solve all of societies problems, but I want to know where all this plastic in the lake is coming from and you know my entire life this has been going on. I don't know was littering like a really popular thing to do back in the day? I mean I know people still like to liter these days I don't, but I know there are people who do. I mean that could be a cause of plastic in the lake, but that's not how the news and government report it.

 

@Itsbrokeagain
You live in NYC what do you make of Mike Bloomberg? I didn’t follow his mayorship very close, all I can get out of it is he’s a big nothing.

 

Well city budget meeting. The woman who is in charge of service and development says recycling costs are up and only going to be more.

are garbage contract is up soon and they talked to other companies uh contracted garbage collection is starting to get pricy.

this whole recycling is starting to be a real boon dogal. If those materials were so valuable it wouldn’t cost us more and more every year to get rid of them.
