A new pilot program was recently launched in New York City... should it be introduced to the Hudson Valley?

Now more than ever, it seems that the lines have been blurred between New York City and the "upstate" Hudson Valley. With Metro-North bringing trainloads of urban tourists to our restaurants, breweries, and hiking trails, it may only be right that they bring this new invention with them.

Pizza Box Recycling Bins in New York State

In an effort to curb trash overflow, littering, and even rodent problems, the Central Park Conservancy has launched a pilot program that introduces pizza box-specific recycling containers.
