Description

• NYCHA’s large campus properties are well-suited to managing waste with pneumatic systems. Pneumatic waste systems automatically move waste to a central collection location. They are completely sealed and thus can isolate the waste from rats, eliminate chute clogs and waste spillage, allow for recyclables and organics source separation, and work reliably regardless of weather. An automated pneumatic waste system has operated successfully on Roosevelt Island for almost 40 years. [WM]

Baseline

• There is no baseline requirement for pneumatic waste disposal for NYCHA buildings.
