What Happens To NYC’s 3.2 Million Tons Of Trash | Big Business | Business Insider
New York City is one of the most wasteful cities in the world. But none of its trash is actually processed in NYC. It's sent to waste-to-energy facilities and landfills as far away as Ohio and South Carolina. It takes a vast network of sanitation workers, trucks, trains, cranes, and barges — and $429 million a year — to get it there.

Where New York's 14 Million Tons of Trash Go - NYC Revealed
Many things come to mind when thinking about New York City, but how the city deals with its garbage is usually not one of them. New Yorkers produce over 14 million tons of trash each year — and a combination of city agencies and private companies work daily to haul away what New Yorkers don't want.

Barges emptying solid waste off the coast of Piraeus in August 2020
"License to kill: how Chinese giant COSCO has been dumping toxic waste off the Athenian coastline with the government’s permission"
Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of hazardous waste from dredging in the Port of Piraeus have been dumped in nearby fishing grounds by port manager COSCO with permission from the Greek Environment Ministry. The effects on public health are not being investigated, and the regulatory framework remains very weak.
Read the full investigation by reporter Myrto Boutsi here: https://www.reportersunited.gr/en/6957/how-chinese-giant-cosco-has-been-dumping-dangerous-waste-off-the-athenian-coastline-with-the-governments-permission/

NYC trash barges
Started during the Bloomberg administration in a bid to reduce truck traffic and congestion related to hauling the citys trash to out of state landfills, the bulk of trash is now moved by barge and rail. The trash is collected and compacted into purpose built containers at marine transfer stations; the containers are placed on a barge for transfer to the NY Container Terminal at Howland Hook, Staten Island, where it is transloaded onto CSX railcars for final transport to out of state landfills.
This is a totally different approach from what was tried back in the Eighties will the ill-fated Mobro 4000, the "Garbage Barge to Nowhere".......this actually works!

New York City is one of the most wasteful cities in the world. But none of its trash is actually processed in NYC. It's sent to waste-to-energy facilities and landfills as far away as Ohio and South Carolina.

What Happens to the Plastic We Throw Out
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/06/the-journey-of-plastic-around-the-globe/
"Henderson Island is a tiny, uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 3,000 miles from major population centers. Though it is half the size of Manhattan, more than 19 tons of trash litter its white, sandy beaches. Researchers estimate that it has the highest concentration of debris of any place in the world, for a total of over 37 million pieces on the entirety of the small island. For every square meter you walk, on average you’ll find 672 pieces of trash. For each visible piece of debris on the beach in the video above, two pieces are buried in the sand. How does so much trash wash ashore on Henderson Island?"
We know ocean plastic is a problem. We can’t fix it until we answer these 5 questions.
https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/7/3/17514172/how-much-plastic-is-in-the-ocean-2018
"Ocean plastic has, in a pretty short time, become a surprisingly potent international environmental movement.For one, there’s more awareness now about the astounding quantity of plastic — between 4.7 and 12.8 million metric tons — floating around in the ocean. As the World Economic Forum put it, this volume is 'equivalent to dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean per minute.' But what about large-scale, long-term plastic reduction? Shouldn’t we also be working toward that?"
A running list of action on plastic pollution
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/07/ocean-plastic-pollution-solutions/
"THE WORLD HAS a plastic pollution problem and it’s snowballing—but so is public awareness and action.
Each year, an estimated 18 billion pounds of plastic waste enters the world’s ocean from coastal regions. That’s about equivalent to five grocery bags of plastic trash piled up on every foot of coastline on the planet. New research is emerging apace about the possible long-term impacts of tiny pieces of plastic on the marine food chain—raising fresh questions about how it might ultimately impact human health and food security. The world is waking up to a crisis of ocean plastic—and we're tracking the developments and solutions as they happen."

"License to kill: how Chinese giant COSCO has been dumping toxic waste off the Athenian coastline with the government’s permission"
Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of hazardous waste from dredging in the Port of Piraeus have been dumped in nearby fishing grounds by port manager COSCO with permission from the Greek Environment Ministry. The effects on public health are not being investigated, and the regulatory framework remains very weak.

Started during the Bloomberg administration in a bid to reduce truck traffic and congestion related to hauling the citys trash to out of state landfills, the bulk of trash is now moved by barge and rail. The trash is collected and compacted into purpose built containers at marine transfer stations; the containers are placed on a barge for transfer to the NY Container Terminal at Howland Hook, Staten Island, where it is transloaded onto CSX railcars for final transport to out of state landfills.
This is a totally different approach from what was tried back in the Eighties will the ill-fated Mobro 4000, the "Garbage Barge to Nowhere".......this actually works!
