New York City School Recycling Survey
November 2011
A recent NY Times article
points out that NYC only recycles 15% of what it throws away. NYC H2O
believes that an effective way to improve the city's recycling efforts
is for students and young people to develop good recycling habits early
on. It is therefore important for schools to take the lead in
practicing and teaching recycling.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that many schools do not recycle despite it being a NYC law. Neither the Department of Sanitation nor the Department of Education keeps records on recycling in schools, so NYC H2O is conducting a survey to determine what level of need exists to improve recycling efforts in schools.
Please take a moment to fill out this survey about recycling in your school. If you do not work in a school but know someone who does, please forward the survey to them.
