Dart has proposed a plan that would guarantee that all of New York's foam products will be recycled for the next five years -- at no cost to city, according to a statement from Michael Westerfield, the company's director of recycling.
"It's absolutely false," said Michael Westerfield of Dart Containers. "We've been recycling foam since 1990, and that includes dirty, food-service foam. That's what we make, and that's what we've been recycling."
