The recyclers in New York City are seen almost everyday; yet, they are being ignored by society even though what they do is truly helpful to the Earth. People always say we should recycle and save the environment; however, these recyclers are the ones who actually do the work we are supposed to do. The carts they create become a unique objects, just like the recycling machines they use; each cart and machine becomes their personal items. The way they tied their bags of bottles to the carts, the wear and tear on the machines are much more individual and personal. These lifeless objects become “alive” because of them.
