Trash Stash Evolution

As small as this blurb is it actually contains some very good news for the environment and for the issue of what to do with those recycling items. The article points to the idea that we will soon be moving to using a single container system for all disposables and it will all get sorted on the other end. No more special containers no more sorting for the consumer! Yes.

Further, even though the MTA has made no announcement of any kind to let people know they are already using this system on all platforms and throughout the system. If you look carefully at the bottom of the photo of the sticker that has been afixed to all of the containers you will see a line that states, "Subway litter is recycled after collection." Amazing! One would think with all the negative press they get for all of the truly stupid decisions they make having to do with the use of funds, they they would welcome something to crow about. Ah well. Anyway, I'm personally happy to know that I no longer need to haul that newspaper, or recyclable bottle home in order to assure that it will be recycled properly - I can just place it any one of the hundreds of receptacles in the subway system and know that it will be taken care of. Yippie!
