Topic: Recycling Outreach &
Education.
The Office of Recycling
Outreach and Education is a year-old program funded by the City Council to
increase participation in the residential recycling program.
Each borough has one
dedicated Recycling Outreach Coordinator who conducts outreach in targeted
districts, typically where recycling rates are the lowest.
Current areas of focus are
East and Central Harlem in Manhattan; the South Bronx; Williamsburg,
Greenpoint and Bedford Stuyvesant in Brooklyn; Astoria, LIC, Sunnyside, East
Corona, East Elmhurst and Jackson Heights in Queens; and pretty much all of
Staten Island.
In addition to a variety of
public events they provide free building recycling assessments to evaluate
programs and assist in the implementation of improvements, and also provide
training for supers and maintenance teams as well as sessions for tenants.
