Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between New York City officials and the issue of garbage disposal. Faced with rapidly growing volumes of waste in the late 19th century, the city turned to private contractors to solve the problem. The author provides a detailed account of the various proposals and methods that were considered, including incinerators, reduction plants, and composting facilities. The book also examines the challenges faced by private contractors in operating these facilities, including the high cost of labor and the difficulty of obtaining suitable land. Ultimately, the city's efforts to privatize garbage disposal led to a series of scandals and lawsuits, which forced officials to re-evaluate their approach. In the end, the city decided to take over the responsibility for garbage disposal, leading to the creation of the Department of Sanitation in 1895. This book provides a valuable historical perspective on the challenges and complexities of waste management in a rapidly growing urban environment.
