New York City hopes to pass legislation to put more recycling bins in public places. The reasoning is that people want more opportunities to recycle and adding more bins will encourage it. There are already about 300 bins in city public spaces, including at public schools and agencies. They want to add a lot more and also create a textile recycling program.
As part of the effort, they want to educate people on recycling and add other programs to help. An educational campaign would include recycling workshops and guides to residential recycling. With all of the tourists and attractions, this would be great for the country.
I thought of something. Maybe New York City could try adding music to recycling bins. Or, perhaps encourage new jobs by giving incentives to the recycling industry like Philadelphia has.
What do you think? Is this a good idea? Let us know what you think in the comments.

You’re right in your advocacy. Recycling eases the problem of landfill and environment degradation. I also maintains a blog with advocacy on nature and environment. Nice blog pal. Keep it up.
