Brynn is joined by Julie Raskin, Executive Director of the Sanitation Foundation, the official nonprofit partner of New York City’s Department of Sanitation. We all touch trash every day, but do you know what happens after you put it in the bin?

Julie explains how our waste is actually full of valuable resources that can save energy and money if properly sorted and processed. Educating everyone from toddlers to large businesses about NYC’s climate champions in uniform is the mission of her team. Listen to fascinating anecdotes about truck routing, waste audits, free Yankees tickets, and yes...rats.
