New York's MTA into Recycling in a BIG WAY
How do you recycle old subway cars? Many have already been re purposed into artificial reefs off the coasts of NY and NY.
NY City's MTA " ... made more than 1,200 “retired “Red Bird” subway cars available to Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Delaware and New Jersey. [for] a new purpose-- to help form artificial reefs and become habitats for marine life. After we stripped the subway cars of components that float (oils, solids, etc.) and decompose, NYC Transit steam cleaned the cars, which were loaded on barges and “buried” at sea."
