Brooklyn Bridge Park Makes Recycling a Priority

Although only a tiny fraction of Big Apple parks recycle, a new one now under construction along the Brooklyn waterfront is set to take being green to another level.

The planned 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park, which is set to partially open this winter after two decades of planning, is being partially built with recycled materials. This includes scraps from former pier sheds that were torn down to make way for the park.

The park will also feature an irrigation system relying on recycled rainwater and an on-site recycling system for its waste. . .
