NEW YORK (April 12, 12:30 p.m. ET) -- New legislation has been introduced to New York City Council this month that will mark the first significant expansion to recycling in the city since the program was introduced in 1989, city leaders said.

Under the proposals, the city will open a new recycling facility in Brooklyn capable of accepting all rigid plastics, not just the PET and high density polyethylene containers currently accepted under municipal programs. Access to recycling bins in public spaces will double in the next three years, and city-wide textile recycling and household hazardous waste collection programs will be offered.

"With the 40th anniversary of Earth Day less than two weeks away, this is the perfect time to be looking at ways to make our city even greener," said City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn. "We´re incredibly excited to be introducing a package of bills that will dramatically expand and overhaul the way we recycle here in New York City. Our legislation will divert over 8,000 tons of plastic every year away from landfills and incinerators. That´s equal to the amount of trash produced by nearly 10,000 people each year."

The legislation package, Local Law 19, includes provisions for waste characterization studies and composting feasibility studies.
