About the event:
On this expert led tour of the SMR Recycling Facility in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, you’ll find out where all of your recycling goes and what happens to it once it’s picked up by the Sanitation Department. The facility sits on an 11-acre city-owned pier in the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Sunset Park, Brooklyn — the former site of an NYPD impoundment lot.
