  • Sunset Park Materials Recycling Facility New York
    New Yorkers have quite a few gripes about the state of recycling in our city, but this week brought exciting news that is making us feel more optimistic. Mayor Bloomberg's office announced that the city broke ground on a new recycling center that will minimize the amount of trucking between pickup and drop-off sites by more than <strong>260,000 miles a year</strong>. The new Sims Municipal Recycling Facility which was designed by Selldorf Architectswill be located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn and will serve as the principal processing facility for all of the city's metal, glass, and plastic recyclables. The plan to open the center is a key part of PlaNYC, the city's goal of improving air quality, cutting traffic and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Oh, and did we mention that the center will also create 100 new jobs for the area?
