What Happens To NYC’s 3.2 Million Tons Of Trash | Big Business
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.

What Happens To NYC’s 3.2 Million Tons Of Trash | Big Business
*Respect* to all workers in the line
I look at garbage differently …..I’m guess from now on no more littering…….🤪
https://youtu.be/Yp0vGuJIRbs7 5
How do I join?
@TheCharityspencer Who asked?
@TheCharityspencer you litter in the first place? Wow man…
I like that guys thinking “if it’s Star Wars I’ll take it home”
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
You never ever ever throw a star wars away. That treason

@Hity Design your video is terrible
Atleast they don’t get piled up to make huge plateaus like it’s done in India.
@hitnail halfway but Bangladesh is an economic giant and military superpower, we cannot compare India to a powerful nation like Bangladesh. Myanmar is sending back thousands of Bangladeshi expats because it is very difficult for it to maintain such high profile expats. Many Bangladeshi expats can be found in poor country India as well, living simple lives, they are here to improve Indian economy.
@ASHOK BOBADE because they don’t work in those trash processing facilities and they need space as bangladesh is too small dor their population. Bengali are gamers.
@Seven Hunnid whats wrong with federal pound me in the arse prison?
@Seven Hunnid maybe it’s a good thing cause we dont have to see your ass while scrolling in the comments
@Ork nice joke, bangladesh is a superpower? Even India is not a super power
Raccoons: It’s free real estate.
Dont forget rats and roaches
“You don’t smell garbage you smell money”
Yo someone give this man a raise
Yay they make over 100k/year no doubt
No need nyc sanitation makes a lot of money for there job
If you say it vice versa “You don’t smell money you smell garbage” then it sounds like you’re bashing on the rich community
He gets money
They make 120k a yr.
I’ve started appreciating sanitation workers in the pandemic. Respect.
Yep exactly, but its a scamdemic
Please reduce the waste your household produces if you respect them and the environment.
The Reader’s Digest once quoted a sanitation worker as saying that most people look down on us as garbage collectors, but to us everyone else is just a garbage producer.

Honestly it’s reporting like this that all media outlets should aspire to.
Yes but sadly original content is expensive. Most “journalism” involves just sensationalizing something you heard about
Need to educate the citizens. Maybe go after manufacturers too. Create items that are recyclable.
Maybe, but I wish they wouldn’t put this with the impossible hyperloop which ruins their image
@Eliot Li What’s impossible about the hyperloop?
I hate how society hates on garbage men and puts them as the bad example what happends when you dont study. Tf, theyre SO important its not even funny. Mad respect. <3
@Rowdy Jr. screw it man become the next five guys or next person you want to be

Respect until the new wold order converts human workers to AI. Don’t let it happen a universal income is no fun.
I had a co worker tell me that people who pick up garbage and pump out septic tanks are losers, I told him losers help make the world go round!
My dad and I love the garbage guys
“If you know where it’s going, and then you don’t like where it’s going. Maybe you’ll find ways to recycle things”
I like that❤️
