NYC Begins Pet Recycling December 1!


The New York City Department of Sanitation announced that it would begin a landmark pet recycling program as early as December. As part of the program, pet owners in all five boroughs would be able to parcel up their tired tabby's and petulant pooch's and leave them along with the current unending stream of bottles, plastic, paper, and cardboard. For now, felines will be commingled with paper (above) while canines will be bundled with the glass and plastic. Sanitation spokesman Vic Naverrone cautions: "While we are expecting some growing pains with this, we have some initial concerns. We are cautioning residents to avoid bagging their pets too tightly as there may be intermittent delays between pickups."
