New York City's recycling efforts have been dealt a major blow as a shocking audit reveals that one of the city's largest private sanitation firms has been improperly disposing of MTA recycling. The audit, conducted by the city's Department of Sanitation, found that the company had been sending loads of recyclables to landfills instead of processing them for reuse. This egregious error has significant implications for the city's efforts to reduce waste and increase recycling rates, and raises questions about the oversight of private sanitation companies. As the city struggles to meet its ambitious recycling goals, this scandal highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the waste management industry.
