Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656
Mayor Bloomberg and the Times Square Alliance, in a
commitment to double the city’s recycling from 15 percent to 30 percent by
2017, have partnered with BigBelly Solar and Alcoa Foundation to bring 30 new
BigBelly recycling stations to the tourist center. “We want to encourage
visitors to Times Square to recycle so we are trying to make recycling easier,”
said Bloomberg.
The units each have 3 sections: Cans & Bottles, Garbage,
and Paper. Solar energy is used to compact the trash and notify staff when they
are full.
