You’ve may have noticed the new recycle bins popping up on street corners, a total of 500 of the large metal cylinders — which feature with a thin opening at the top to insert paper, plastic, cans or bottles — are currently scattered in high-density areas across the five boroughs.
The idea is to keep the pair of recycling bins on corners separate from regular trash cans so that people are forced to think about recycling, rather than just throwing their bottles and papers in the trash. Let’s help combat recycling!! LINK
