Welcome to NYC’s most unique trash system. Underneath Roosevelt Island is a vacuum-like apparatus of tubes that carry trash from every building to a centralized facility at high speeds. The process is known as automated vacuum collection (AVAC). The AVAC system handles the garbage for the 12,000 New Yorkers living on Roosevelt Island. It’s one of the few systems of its kind in America – the other most notably at Disney World. It’s managed by @nycsanitation with the help of @rooseveltislandny. Me
