Everyday New York City generates approximately 50,000 tons of waste and recyclables. The Department of Sanitation (DSNY) handles 25 percent of waste discarded by residents and institutions, and the rest from businesses or constructions are privately managed. Waste management system needs complex process consisting of a network of City employees, garages and specialized vehicles, and a far-flung array of private hauler, transfer stations and disposal companies. The complex process was converged at the Fresh Kills Landfill in Staten Island until 2001 when it was full and then closed. As a result, the waste was transferred to neighboring states through truck-based system. However, it was unsustainable because the reliance on trucking caused issues on the environment and on local communities along major truck routes. The City's long-term plan is to reduce costs by recycling more, reducing waste, building a waterfront waste transfer system that is less dependent on trucks and to use containers to ship garbage by barge and train further away to cheaper dumpsites. To maintain clean streets, the Department of Sanitation clears litter, debris and abandoned vehicles and structures. Daily, 196 mechanicals brooms sweep and 64 basket trucks collect 25,000 litter baskets. DSNY serves regularly scheduled curbside and containerized refuse collection for residential area, public schools and buildings in New York City. To reduce the amount of exporting waste and to improve the environment, DSNY weekly assigned 1,873 curbside and 82 containerized trucks to collect about 10,114 tons of recyclables. Prior to Fresh Kills, Canarsie and Jamaica Bay were the "dumps". But as they filled up, local opposition prompted the city to change its waste location to Fresh Kills.
