See NYC's Recycling Bin and Bag Characters

Used to seeing NYC's recycling bin and bag characters on promotional materials? Now see them in person!

As a fun way to encourage New Yorkers to recycle more and waste less, the DSNY Bureau of Waste Prevention, Reuse and Recycling has arranged for NYC's recycling bin and bags to appear at various venues throughout the city. 

Where appropriate, appearances include an info table, photo backdrop, and the opportunity for people to take home free Polaroids of themselves next to NYC's recycling mascots.
