“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Before joining DSNY, Garcia earned her bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and gained experience in the environmental world by working at the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for about seven years.Garcia points to the use of new technology as a key to her goal of creating a cleaner and safer system of trash collection. “We see an opportunity to synchronize the trucks that we use for collection with the waste stream,” Garcia noted. “If we access the available technology, we are able to see trends, implement education and achieve our goal of zero waste.”“It’s also really important that our department and community understand that there’s been a change in lifestyle. We don’t have five daily newspapers anymore and people ordering on-line has led to tremendous increase in the amount of corrugated cardboard that we are dealing with.”The next step with that comes a look at the relationship between the foodservice operator and the food distributor marketplace. img data-attachment-id="15938" data-permalink="https://totalfood.com/kathryn-garcia-clear-vision-nyc-sanitation-initiative-inaugural-conference/foodwastefair-promo/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/totalfood.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/FoodWasteFair-Promo.jpg?fit=696%2C362&ssl=1" data-orig-size="696,362" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta="{" aperture="" data-image-title="FoodWasteFair-Promo" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/totalfood.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/FoodWasteFair-Promo.jpg?fit=300%2C156&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/totalfood.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/FoodWasteFair-Promo.jpg?fit=696%2C362&ssl=1" class="size-full wp-image-15938" src="https://i0.wp.com/totalfood.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/FoodWasteFair-Promo.jpg?resize=696%2C362&ssl=1" alt="NYC Food Waste Fair Kathryn Garcia...
SARASOTA — After reading a story about trash on Sarasota County beaches over the Memorial Day weekend, kindergartners from a Wisconsin school wrote letters to the Herald-Tribune hoping to inspire people who visit local beaches to pick up their trash.The 14 letters from Jodie Klimas' students at the Milwaukee College Prep School, 38th Street campus in Milwaukee, explain the dangers of littering, offered tips on how to clean up after yourself at the beach, and punishments if you do not.A girl named Trinity said that throwing "chips on the sand" is a "sad thingck!"Kameron explained "how-to not throw garbich on the ground" that you can "get cuts in your feet."One student suggested people call the mom of the litterbug to "make them clean it up."Punishments were offered. A student said if someone is caught leaving trash, they should "sit in the corner," while two students said the penalty could be banishment from the beach — for 17 weeks.All of the students gave a simple solution to solving our littering problem: pick it up and place it in a trash bag or garbage can.In Kennedi's illustrated "How-to pick trash off the ground at the beach," the student gives the following directions:"I will teach you how to pick up trash o...

I went and grabbed my mom, and we took off for the basement. It only lasted maybe 10 minutes. The grandkids’ swing set got tipped over, and the neighbor's fence. It took out our fence.”Nearby, the roof was blown off the dugout at the Monticello High School baseball field, and parts of it ended up across the street.This storm was unusual in the sense that it spared few parts of the region. On Lake Harriet, at least 18 sailboats were overturned and more at other lakes in Minneapolis.At 48th and Penn Avenue, a tree fell on a vehicle. And, in St. Paul, two people were hurt when a downed tree fell around them and trap... (KMSP-TV)
