The 2022 Open House New York featured a tour of the Roosevelt Island AVAC (Automatic Vacuum Collection) underground garbage collection system yesterday afternoon.
It was a fascinating tour led by TJ who works for NYC Sanitation Department at the Roosevelt Island AVAC facility.
The Twitterverse adds:
