Sanitation Expert Answers Trash Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED
Former New York City Sanitation Commissioner Ed Grayson is here to answer the internet’s burning questions about garbage. Where does garbage go after it’s sent to the landfill? What happens if we run out of space in the landfills? Why do they still put garbage out on the streets in New York City? How does…

Does not having organic waste in landfills prevent the breakdown of the non-organic material?
GreyPunkWolf
April 20, 2022 at 11:19 pm
Depends on the organic waste and the material around it, but yes. Organic doesn’t mean acid-free, for example.
Not even talking about organic waste that creates toxic fumes around specific minerals… Yeah segregation of waste has a real purpose.

The fact that the word garbage still means something is sad. In reality, there’s no such thing as garbage. That’s just a word we use to be lazy. We need better packaging materials and rules to make recycling and reuse more efficient. We also need a recycling system that actually works. All matter still has usefulness. You just need to get it to where it can be used.
Even the plastics that can’t be recycled in a conventional way, can be shredded and used as a bulk filler in concrete mix. They can even be melted and used to fill potholes.

Big business has convinced people that solving the waste problem is is on _us_ individually where in reality corporate profits depend on society bearing the cost of all this waste – made even worse by engineering products for premature obsolescence. The entire program of recycling was the brainchild of marketing departments in response to environmental movements. It’s past time to place the blame for all this crap we’re being sold where it belongs: squarely on manufacturers. The only way to really begin to solve this problem is where it starts: at the point of production.

If you have a very costy trash problem:
a) recycle trash (future technologies dig, sort, chemical processing for new material), as a last resort
b) a trash fueled power plant providing heating as a service over isolated pipeline networks could also free fulfilled trash depots space.

I would love if he came back on and went into more detail about the methane gas and how it’s produced into energy. I just did a research paper on food waste in America and it really opened my eyes to just how much food waste is being produced. Is the system able to keep up with the amount of methane gas that is being produced

Well, I know who NOT to ask: anyone that supports any green party.
Practicality and IDEOLOGY don’t mix. As proven by the latest rampant wildfires in California, because apparently, fire breaking lines are a BAD THING ( according to greenies). But having a third of your country literally on fire is apparently GREAT for the ecosystem.
Also, we have deserts. And space. Not today, but we got space. And space is biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig.
Get out of the way, shut up, and we humans will solve the problem for you.
Just shut up. And don’t vote, that will help everyone involved. And shut up. Twice, because I know you FEEL the need to screech your idiocy.

Mia Shinbrot
April 26, 2022 at 9:36 pm
NYC has 8.8 million people and over 3 million tons of *residential* trash? That comes to over a third of a ton of trash per year per person, maybe 700 pounds or so. I wouldn’t have thought it was possible for one person to create that much trash. Are you including recycling in that?
Before they brought in municipal composting here, I used to dump a large garbage bag (not full usually, but dumped because it was too smelly) maybe once a month or less. I doubt if it was more than 20 pounds a month (given that I have trouble lifting a 20 pound bag of rice), not counting recycling of cans, bottles, and paper — that would be around 140 pounds a year of garbage, though it’s hard to be sure because I never kept track of how often I emptied the garbage.
Now I dump five, maybe at most ten, pounds of compost every two weeks*, plus a fairly big box of recyclables (maybe another ten pounds every two weeks for the recyclables). I suppose the compost adds up to more than I was aware of — hard to believe it, but that means potentially 125-250 pounds of compost a year. I know a much larger proportion of my trash was compostable than I had realized, just by how long it takes my unsmelly kitchen garbage to fill up now. Still, a third of a ton per year per person sounds like an awful lot of garbage for anyone to create. I can’t imagine making that much trash, unless perhaps I ate pizza and threw away a pizza box every day.
* I know that it’s that much — however much it is — every two weeks specifically, because I now have a cleaner who comes every other Wednesday. If I had a scale I’d weigh it, because now I’m curious how much compost I generate.

My dad was an amputee and took his leg with him even when he was in his chair because it’s easier to get up stairs but in general it’s too painful/ too exhausting to stand on it too long. That may be how someone lost their leg. Or maybe they were killed and you are laughing about this missing leg being someone who partied too hard 🤷🏻♀️

I worked with Ed for several years in DSNY operations management before he became a 2-star, then 3-star, then 4-star, then commissioner. Fastest rise in DSNY history. He’s an amazing person. He has a wit faster than any person you’ll ever meet. People at the agency loved him. He can make anyone passionate about literally garbage. And was that the real MGK who asked a question?

Smart guy till he got to the big question then averted the question of where does it go? To quickly and finally says barge, rail, quick landfills and then talks normally about recycling again 🤣 his union rep must have been there watching 👀

composting is simple enough and would solve SO MUCH! Anyone who generates waste….so everyone…..should have to compost. Especially large corporations.

In Nicaragua far out in the mountain slopes, no garbage handling exists. Garbage was banked eight feet high along miles of one-lane roads. It was full of nesting insects like wasps.

I would’ve liked to hear his stance on landfills and if we’ll actually run out of space vs. the claim that landfills won’t fill up/there could be one main landfill for the country and we’d be fine

I enjoyed Commissioner Grayson’s personality in answering these questions. I remember the incinerators in Iraq. The sorting. The smoke stacks. Or in other forms of military training, Chuck and Barry came in handy too.

For those of us living in a house with some yard, make a hole in the dirt and dump your grease in there. You can probably dump all of your bio-waste in a hole in your yard. I wonder if people do.

When _all_ the land fills fill up… in short, the Earth is huge. There is still plenty of room when it comes to the question of just dumping stuff. But yes, it will end up being a problem here or there if we don’t think ahead. I mean, we do want to dump trash near where we are living instead of having to drive hours to get to a dump. That would be costly at best.

I noticed he didn’t say specifically where the garbage ends up. I live in Rochester NY and our landfills receive tons of NYC’s trash every week. And that’s the case with a lot of other cities in NY.

Regarding city size. I know in Tokyo it’s split up into about 25 different prefectures, and the “Tokyo government” is actually municipal not city.

A trash guy like him obviously knows we’re not going to run out of space for landfills. He’s deliberately lying, because it’s politically popular to say we need to be “zero waste”
