Scrap & Recycling Goals
Scrap & Recycling Goals
Setting goals is an excellent means of truly making progress, and here at Cleveland Scrap Cars we seek to highlight such initiatives which are related to scrap and recycling. Although we are essentially among the scrap yards that buy cars, we strive to be more than simply a “buy my junk car” provider; we seek to be a source of encouragement and a voice for recycling efforts.
On April 23, 2015 Mr. Allen Gerlat posted a story on waste360.com titled ‘New York City Aims for Zero Waste by 2030’, which outlines a bold new plan that NYC is unveiling to become a city where 100% of the waste is recycled. The story is as follows: “NYC aims to reduce the amount of waste disposed of by 90% by 2030 and send zero waste to landfills. Mayor Bill de Blasio presented his plan with the release of One New York, which calls for a sustainable city. Solid waste & environmental goals are a cornerstone of the plan. It cites the recent decision to ban expanded polystyrene foam as one step toward that end. The sustainability plan includes the expansion of NYC’s organics curbside collection & local drop-off site programs to serve all by the end of 2018. The city hopes to implement single-stream recycling collection for metal, glass, plastic & paper by 2020.
New York City’s other waste initiatives include reducing the use of plastic bags and other non-compostable waste; making all schools zero waste schools; expanding opportunities to reuse and recycle textiles & electronic waste. Other sustainability goals in the plan include an 80-percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 compared with 2005; cleaning up contaminated sites and convert them to beneficial use; and achieving the best air quality among all large U.S. cities. The city has been aggressive on waste reduction issues; in January, the city banned single-use expanded polystyrene foam items & packaging. In October 2014 it launched a campaign to help residents unsubscribe from unwanted mail waste to their homes.” The link to the complete story is here:
