Peek Inside NYC’s Strangely Beautiful Glass and Plastic Recycling Facility
Back to Article
Can you guess what this is? It looks like a collapsed set of building blocks, but it's actually a huge pile of recyclable materials. At the @simsmuni facility in Sunset Park, machines separate New York City's metal, glass, and plastic, and then pack them into giant bales like you see in this photo from Instagram Ambassador @roofaccess. The bales then make their way to recycling facilities who complete the process by turning the materials into something new! To learn more about the @NYCRecycles process - and to see more of these great photos - tap the link in our bio.
