NEW YORK — A new state-of-the-art trash system in NYCHA’s Polo Grounds Towers in Harlem promises to tackle energy, rodent and recycling issues.
It is the first public housing building in the country to use the pneumatic technology.
*** and ***
Currently, staff spend eight hours a day moving garbage between buildings by foot. Now those crews will be better used, contributing to NYCHA’s partnership with Compost Power on the property, raking and repurposing fallen leaves, grinding them up into ground cover, as residents drop off food scraps for the community garden.

Sad that there is nothing in this for the Taxpayer.
And why is it a Federal issue?
(Remember: The Taxpayer funds extracted by the Federal Gooferment are decreased by handling costs for each level those fund pass thru. Into “Federal”, there goes 50%. Into NYC, there goes 50%. Into NYCHA, there goes another 50%. So, ½ times ½ time ½ equals a “friction effect” of losing 87.5%. Quibble about the exact percentage but you get the point. Pay for it as close to the service as possible!)
Also, why don’t private owners of rental properties do something similar? Maybe it’s not cost-effective? Or, maybe, the owners and / or renters would prefer a different amenity in stead?
Bottom line: The Taxpayers get to pay for something that most people could care less about. Except for the Socialists with their “religion” of Leftist issues. Argh!
