Humans create an immense amount of trash. And it all needs to go somewhere. In NYC (The Big Apple, baby!), it first goes onto the sidewalk, and then gets picked up by NYC Department of Sanitation. But how much trash are they picking up each day around New York, New York?
Sanitation picks up 12,000 tons of trash and recycling every day across the city, hauling it off to dumps outside of the city on large barges filled with containers of garbage.
