From a blog made by New York garbage collectors.
The city throws away a total of 24 million pounds of household trash each day, which, according to some estimates, costs about $167 per ton to send to an out-of-state landfill or incinerator. Most of the trash is trucked to landfills upstate, or to Pennsylvania, Ohio or Virginia. For nine months in 2005, Tullytown, Pennsylvania — in the state that takes in the most waste exports nationwide — received 400,000 tons of garbage from New York State.
