Why is the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) sponsoring NYC Stuff Exchange?

A. DSNY collects 12,000 tons (24 million pounds) of garbage from NYC residents and institutions every day. Collecting and transporting this waste to out-of-city landfills and incinerators is a large financial and environmental burden to the City’s taxpayers. The goal of NYC Stuff Exchange is to help lessen the City’s waste (and thus DSNY costs) by encouraging the reuse of gently used materials that might otherwise be discarded as trash.
