After a bit of a hassle going through the NYC laws of recycling in a business environment, I finally figured out that we could have our graphic designer create decals for the entire office instead of using the non-existent/lame city ones.

Note: the decals and signs for residential recycling is fine, it’s just the commercial ones that they lack a distinguishing look for.

The point here is that I was glad to know that NYC mandates all businesses to recycle. How well is that recycling carried out by professional waste management companies? Our best guess is a shrug and a “ionno.” Not until the last 2 weeks at work has it been absolutely clear that the company we do hire to take out our trash recycles stuff.

When they take it out of the office, it seems clear like they’re going to just dump it all in one place, but from what they tell us on the phone and through constant hassling, we do make it a point to recycle. But without the recycling police, what good is it?

I mean someone should be out there monitoring these professional trash picker-uppers otherwise we don’t know if the law is being followed.
