The 11-acre Brooklyn sorting facility features a Recycling Education Center that includes a theater, interactive exhibits, lunch space, and an outdoor patio. Experience the state-of-the-art sorting process from an elevated observation deck above hundreds of tons of recyclables that came from all over New York City, and are processed here each day. See sustainability in action with the city's first commercial-scale wind turbine, native plantings, stormwater management, and marine habitats.
