The Recycling Education Center of Sims Municipal Recycling Facility is hosting a virtual event: Circular City Week! “Virtual Tour of Sims Municipal Recycling” on March 22, 2021 from 6:00PM-7:00PM EST.
Sims Municipal Recycling (SMR), an emerging leader in the municipal recycling industry, has quickly become the cornerstone of the New York City curbside recycling program. SMR processes 100% of the metal, glass and plastic collected by the New York City Sanitation Department throughout the city’s five boroughs.
In 2013, SMR opened its state-of-the-art materials recovery facility in Brooklyn – a facility that processes the largest volume of metal, glass and plastic in North America.
This virtual tour will feature photos, videos, and graphics describing operations at Sims Municipal Recycling, along with how recycling works in New York City and beyond. When registering for this event, please select the event titled, “Circular City Week! Virtual Tour of Sims Municipal Recycling”.
