This first episode of the New York Tour series features Royal Waste Services based out of Hillside, NY. Royal has been operating for more than 10 years and has one of the only food waste transfer stations in the City. Featured in this video are two crews; one doing commercial wet garbage and the other on a food waste route using a Summit non-compaction rear-bucket truck. This truck does one to two loads a night hauling anywhere from 12-20 tons a night. For comparison, DNSY has a food waste route that collects only 4 tons a day. Food waste recycling is relatively new to New York City because it doesn't have the infrastructure in place to recycle and compost it. Royal Waste was one of the first companies to establish a food waste program and create a facility to accommodate, prep and load trailers which take the compost to McEnroe Organic Farm in upstate New York. Please share, comment and like this video to help spread the word about the private carting companies which tirelessly work in New York City cleaning up almost 5 million tons of trash a year.
