  *From the Department of Sanitation, NYC Mayor’s Office
Every year the 5 boroughs generate 14 MILLION tons
                       of waste




2,000 government trucks I 4,000 private trucks collect it
                          all
Construction,     Termites
Demolition Waste




Organic Waste       Pigs




Toxic Waste         Mycroremdiation
Left overgrown for 50 years...
Now a bird sanctuary, the island is currently abandoned and off-limits to the
public. A dense forest conceals the ruined hospital buildings, and from the
1980s through the early 2000s it supported one of the area's largest nesting
colonies of Black-crowned Night Heron.

Subterranean Termite
Interesting Facts:


• Termites cause more damage to American
  homes than tornadoes, hail storms,
  windstorms, and hurricanes combined.

• Termite damage to homes cost Americans more
  than a billion dollars each year.

• Termites have been around for more than 240
  million years -- and they show no sign of
  leaving any time soon.
Subterranean Termites

   Castes:
 • Workers, are the termites who do all the damage. They are responsible for
   finding food, tending the young, and feeding the reproductives and soldiers.
 • Reproductives, reproduce. The primary reproductive in any termite colony
   is the queen, who regulates every aspect of the colony's life through a
   complex system of chemical messengers that we are just beginning to
   understand.
 • Alates, or "swarmers," who are winged reproductive termites produced by
   mature colonies, who set off to establish colonies of their own.
 • Soldiers, whose job is to protect the colony from predators and intruders.
   Soldiers typically are present only in mature colonies.


In nature: The job of termites is to eat dead trees and thus return essential
nutrients to the soil.
Predators: The occasional bird or woodland animal seeking a tasty treat.

Scale Implications
PlaNYC
I’m working on visualizing ways to communicate possible implementation of
alternative waste management and playing with what that may look like.
Shown next is a series of trash cans called “Wild Bins”.
The Problem-> I constantly find myself stopping to read the labels on the trash
cans at school to properly dispose of waste.
The Solution-> The idea behind “Wild Bins” is to make recycling a thoughtless
act with the hypothesis that if it’s thoughtless then more people will do it right
and more often. I see the design of a traditional trash can as an opportunity to
educate the public and to get them to be part of improved waste management
instead of relying on the government.
Alternative Waste Management, ReNatured
