The Towns and People Who End Up with NYC Trash.
Each American puts about about 4 lbs of waste per day into the trash. Multiply that by the number of people in your city or town and you’ll see that it adds up fast.

After fifty years, New Yorkers stopped sending our waste to Staten Island. At considerable monetary cost to New Yorkers, and considerable environmental cost to those communities, in 2001 we started sending our waste to landfills and incinerators in: Pennsylvania, Virginia, Seneca Falls, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Kentucky, and New Jersey.
