New office of Recycling Outreach and Education (OROE)

info: www.cenyc.org

OROE is a new office under the New York City Council on Environment (CENYC). Work is currently being done to promote recycling. Only plastic bottles and jugs designated 1 and 2 are being recycled. By 2009, plastic designated 3 to 9 will be recycled as well. OROE's goal is to educate New Yorkers as to proper recycling. Too many items that should be recycled wind up in regular trash. Flyers are available in 26 languages. For further information check the website: www.cenyc.org
