Laptop Battery New York City may not meet its July 2004 deadline for bringing
back glass recycling, city officials said yesterday. The city
suspended the recycling of glass and plastics in July as a
budget-cutting measure, leaving only paper and metal recycling in
place.
laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

plastics in July, a joint task force of the Bloomberg
administration and the City Council is casting doubt on the date
for glass recycling to resume.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Microsoft The current law calls for the resumption of glass recycling on
July 1, 2004. But the task force, which has been studying
recycling, has concluded that the deadline may not be feasible.
Although the task force has not signed off on a final report, a
working draft declares, "This reinstatement should not occur until
such time as the city is able to adequately address the problem of
glass breakage and contamination of the mixed recyclable stream."
It also said the city needed to find better
markets for used glass.

Glass is the most difficult thing to recycle, city officials say.
It is heavy, which makes pickup and collection expensive, and
fragile, meaning that it can break and contaminate other
recyclables, making an entire batch
less attractive to buyers. But a
private company recently surprised the city with an attractive
bid for its plastics; if a company were to make a tempting bid
for its glass, the situation could change quickly.

Laptop Computer The task force plans to recommend several ways to make recycling
more successful.
Brooklyn (named after the Dutch town Breukelen) is one of the five boroughs of New York City. An independent city until its consolidation into New York in 1898, Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough, with more than 2.5 million residents.If the borough was still considered an independent city, it would be the 4th largest city in the United States ( 1). Brooklyn is coterminous with Kings County, which is the most populous county in New York State, and the second most densely populated county in the United States (after New York County, which is the borough of Manhattan).
Desktop Computer Officials said they planned to study a
system that would charge people
for garbage collection sometimes called pay-as-you-throw. The
Bloomberg administration looked at such a system last year but
concluded that it would be difficult to put into place in New
York City, because it would be hard to measure who threw what
out in high-rise apartment buildings.
Notebooks The draft report notes that such a system could encourage
recycling, since it would give people an incentive to throw out
less regular garbage to keep their costs down. But it warned that
the system could also lead to spoiled batches of recyclables,
because some people might try to sneak their regular garbage in
with their recyclables.
Lenovo The draft also calls for studying a system in which people could
throw their metal, glass, plastic and paper into a single
container, which could encourage more recycling, and for moving
recycling pickups from once a week to every two weeks in some
neighborhoods. And it calls for supporting a change to state law
that would expand the nickel deposit for noncarbonated beverages
like bottled water, juices and iced teas, so those bottles could be
taken out of the garbage stream.
Hard Drive A spokesman for Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Jordan Barowitz,
said, "It would be irresponsible to comment on the report until the
task force has finished its work."
