What Happens to NYC's Food Waste? | On the Job | Priya Krishna | NYT Cooking

[@LuckyLifeguard]

i love how much humanity and dignity was brought to this story! also just fascinating to see what happens after we throw something in the compost bin. thank you priya and team!! ❤

[@marktalbott351]

Which really great is 1 ton of food waste from New York city removes 2.2 tons of carbon from the atmosphere after processing at Trenton Renewables . I was proud to be a part of it at my facility at Trenton Renewables !😊

[@retropulpmonkey]

Kudos to the audio team! Many different, difficult, environments to capture and it was done fabulously.

[@emilyhawks7806]

Seaweed snacks vs corn muffin 😂

[@robertcotrell9810]

It was great to see Priya more! Paul was fantastic, and I appreciate that you shared the full process with him as well.

[@balusmbox]

"It dont talk back to you" - True words my man Paul. Thank you Priya, for yet another fantastic episode

[@DeliaLee8]

I had no idea that the NYC region did this much actual composting, made biogas and provided compost/mulch to local farms! So great!

[@e.j.meehan6209]

Just gotta say I'm so happy seeing Priya making work that she clearly is very passionate about! Feels so much more "her" than the stuff she was doing previously

[@Merlybird]

This is my favorite series on KZbin! I love seeing so many human stories and Paul is the man! This seems like such a tough job and he owns it

[@mattgibson6144]

What a great watch & such a cool dude. Thanks for making his life story part of the greater story. Some people say immigration is a bad thing, but they have no concept of what they are talking about.

[@spritelink]

I am a dedicated NYC composter and I found this video fascinating! I also wondered what happened to my compost after I deposit it at the farmer’s market or curbside bins. I knew it wasn’t going to a landfill but I didn’t know about the Trenton facility and how the bio gas was extracted to make energy to power electricity. Kudos to Paul for his hard work and to Priya for her first hand report.

[@russellhayes407]

Keep it up

[@phantomframe]

I worked in NYC for 6 months this year-I loved the curbside compost bins that you use an app to open. Brilliant and so easy to use. I froze it in a bin in my freezer and would drop it off once a week.

[@poodlebone]

This was my favorite episode in this series!

[@richryan8904]

Hi Priya. This was a wonderful episode, thank you. You bring such engaging humanity to your content. Paul was a winner and a good, decent fellow. A delightful watch. Top stuff.

[@jeffantwi]

This is such an amazing show! So needed. It really humanizes the people that make this city run quietly. Please keep this as a fixture on this channel. 🙏🏾

[@jeremysoule7069]

Priya’s videos are THE BEST video content the NYT offers. So glad to see these faces and people behind the scenes of our food process. Thank you Priya and Paul!

[@tamravenhill301]

Priya is so good at this. She is so utterly charming in all situations. Great stuff

[@rachelsuson27]

Wow, even more motivated to make sure things get into the right bins!

[@ylluong]

It’s very enjoyable to watch. Thank you all!

[@hummersd]

👏to this incredible team for putting these stories of humanity, and the hard work that goes into what it takes to run a city. Always look forward to new episodes! NYT, give them a raise!

[@Trinifood]

Great story! Paul is salt of the earth and I love the way he and Priya interact. The waste is, however, shocking and appalling! So many meals could be made by the good stuff that's thrown out.

[@JBoogie1977]

I love these On The Job Videos. Please don't stop making them!

[@endtwoducing]

What a beautiful episode. Paul is such a kind man doing a job that so many of us overlook. And Priya is just the perfect blend of a kind and intelligent human being with a strong sense of right and wrong and a childlike inquisitive mind that wants to understand and learn. Great great series and one of the best episodes so far.

[@lyss1210]

I love this story and this show so much! Truly eye opening to get to know the PEOPLE and processes that make these systems run. So inspiring ❤ makes me love the beautiful diversity of our country even more!

[@jackiehiebert7064]

This was one of the best episodes. Thank you.

[@andrewjohnson4728]

This was a great story and one that is very important to share about composting and about people like Paul Campbell.

[@rebecaloyola7514]

I wish we could have a universal composting system. I hate to imagine the tons of food that goes into landfills when it can be turned into energy and compost. I loved that Paul found out how his compost created green energy; he looked so proud!

[@jayjonas1996]

Why is thi ssuch a feel good video? Priya was also a perfect cast/reporter for this Best part: "Are those going to be a nightmare audio-wise if I get seaweed snacks?" *LOUD CRUNCH * "hmm, not a lot of film crews, though?" "Do I have seaweed on my face?"

[@ankitavasudevan5515]

Remarkable work Priya, kudos to not only Paul but all other and sanitation workers who keep the cities around the world clean.

[@MadelineDodier]

Awww his wife is such a hoot on the phone “can you understand him????” You can tell they have such a playful love 💕💕💕

[@akirebara]

omg this was such a wonderful episode, maybe because paul is such a sweetheart.

[@rowanrooks]

This is one of my favorite series on KZbin. There's something about Priya that helps people open up and share their stories.

[@ashleys637]

I love this series. It's really interesting to gain insight into the less "glamorous" careers present in NYC.

[@katharinedavison2095]

Absolutely amazing, really appreciate the highlight of this incredibly important work! Respecting the men and women who manage solid waste is essential.

[@megan41779]

This is my favorite series! Priya does a fantastic job of showing all the jobs that most of us don't give a second thought about. More of these please!

[@derwintomlinson9193]

Keep doing well Paul, your service to the city speaks volumes- thank you for all you do to make our environment a healthier and better place to live and raise our families. Cheers 🍻

[@bergstrom716]

Paul is one hard working man have mad respect for him

[@nate.amandafrank912]

What a great informational piece.

[@martinforde007]

it is so profoundly sad to see how much food, good food, is wasted every single day. Hopefully, this documentary video might get us to rethink our profligate ways. Please keep making them!

[@troubiemakie]

I know it would be super easy to just show the technical side of composting and show graphs and production numbers but I really appreciate how this was presented.

[@mikelline]

This was such an awesome video! Thank you for making this video intimate by sharing his story with us!

[@xingcat]

I love this series. Priya shows all the parts of the food industry we don't usually get to see. And Paul is such a terrific person to learn about! Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@parker4406]

Omg this is docu film worthy content. Enjoyed the textural video!

[@sarahwatts7152]

I'm glad Paul got to know what all his hard work does for people. What a standup guy

[@russellhayes407]

Thanks. You learn something new every day.

[@lindacsmith13]

This was so interesting, thank you Priya and Paul of course.

[@Queerfishxo]

I'm always looking forward to seeing this series!!

[@liznesbitt4191]

What a great episode !!!!❤

[@katherinesanchez6357]

22:46 / 23:08 / 23:33 Grey and black truck is my dad!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹 you should've went with him to trenton biogas in his truck , he would've loved to have you!! wish you showed more of what we do as well!

[@hayleyleiberman8491]

Paul was awesome! There's a small part of me that has always wanted to spend a day being a sanitation truck worker and it was fun to see what there day is like. Especially for the good of composting!

[@nicole_franzen]

Thanks so much for sharing this. As a long time dedicated composter I too wondered where it all went and if we were actually making a difference amongst the millions of New Yorkers. Much appreciation to all the people working those long hard shifts and keeping the city running.

[@anelam71]

Priya, thanks, as always for highlighting all of us. ❤

[@lorassorkin]

Another fantastically informative episode!

[@michaels7312]

This was great. Loved Paul

[@parker4406]

always love to see nyt adding a face to the mostly invisible functions of a city, great job as always priya but this one was really special.

[@joruckus]

Thank you, Paul ❤ Love you, Priya ❤

[@matthewdunivan9283]

We just got our compost bins in Washington Heights. This is great to see.

[@samanthawolcik7108]

Awesome. Such great information. Uncle Paul, you rock.

[@christianeduardo1]

This was humane, touching and very interesting

[@secundrabeasley855]

I was engrossed. Thank You.

[@MsYeleo]

[@johnr2090]

[@mclarenbrennan5846]

Absolutely incredible!😊

[@LindsayDaly]

hard cut to priya with the seaweed snacks was top tier

[@poobd]

Priya doing her work on NYTC has been so nice ♥️

[@JavierGarcia-gf9xl]

Priya is simply the best 🎉

[@kaygomez1927]

Love these episodes ❤

[@earlisabailey6820]

Hi Paul, this is lisa and dave. Thomasa asked me to watch this you have an interesting job..

[@candacejohnson8622]

I love this!

[@SharonRhoden-r1h]

Good Job my loving brother Paul.. Continue doing the good work❤

[@qflower4982]

Great series

[@caraeuler2927]

This was great.

[@JOttmanConsulting]

TY for exposing the amount of still edible food in our "compost." Such food, according to EPA Wasted Food Scale, should be eaten by humans or animals - not used to “transform our consumption of energy” - or, create fossil fuels in the process! Also, please beware of referring to organic materials collected for energy generation as “compost.” Best to leave the term "compost" to the end result of the decomposition process used as fertilizer.

[@gravityent9943]

Big up yuh self Paul gwaan do the right thing!

[@cathrinagroiss604]

What a lovely man is Paul! He is absolutely right about his job being essential. Sanitation and utilities jobs are all undervalued, but without them life in any city would be just a nightmare. Ask van lifers how much time they have to spend taking care of their trash, plugging in for gas, water or propane, dumping out trash, gray water, black water or other 'household' waste. When you are off grid, you go it all on your on. When you are on grid, in a city, these services are the fundamentals of quality of life

[@shaaaaaq]

This was really cool to see but also shocking at how much whole and edible foods gets thrown away likely because of regulations. Really hurts my soul for the folks who don't have easy access to food

[@micodanoble9272]

Great job uncle Paul 👍🏽

[@tiffanywynter6801]

Hiii Paullllll 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. The camera suits yuh. Love from Nicole and Tiffany in negril 🥰👏🏾💖💕💖💕

[@rcuev118]

Here in illinois when i used to do yard waste for waste management we used to pick up the compost and mix it and then wed let it dry in the sun until they came and picked it up not sure where they took it.

[@candylove1234]

This was so interesting, paul was doing a great job i feel like I learned a lot just watching 😂

[@smallsp525]

It's unfortunate that compost in NYC (both DSNY and commercial haulers) mostly ends up as biogas/fertilizer product. It would do more to actually become usable compost that could be used in New York City parks and gardens.

[@rachelstark2391]

Priya, You need pockets, ditch the bag.

[@AngledHourglass]

Wait so how long does it take for the compost to be made? It looks like what you brought last night was make into compost within 24 hours!

[@Exaptor7]

Great film. I just loved seeing the logistics of hauling the stuff. But wanted to point out that anaerobic digestate is not compost or even close to it.

[@33tcamp]

Priya cracks me up with the "OMG, what is this whole potato doing in there??"

[@JesusLovesyou..1John3.6]

fun educational video thank you for sharing praise God 😊❤❤

[@ElSuperNova23]

What a legend

[@Elite244]

First picture of the inside of the compost bin: plastic bag

[@amelieh.3327]

It’s so sad that so much food is wasted! Everyone has to do their part!! Climate change - it’s all up to us to stop it!

[@ruthnoyes4228]

Priyaaaaaa 🎉 Just wanted to yell that in the comments in excitement before even watching 😊

[@TheSongwritingCat]

It's really not surprising that whole fruits and vegetables would be discarded by businesses which aren't in the position to only buy the quantity they need. They're probably buying whole boxes, not just like 5 apples.

[@yunniekal]

HOLY.... thats so much wasteeee. omg. It makes me really sad that people arent utilizing or discount selling ugly produce. Its so rare for me to have waste since I raise chickens and pigs and they get all the left overs which is barely much.

[@xxspookshowxbabyxx]

Gabi would love this 🥹

[@SharonRhoden-r1h]

Good jod my brother ❤

[@joelmonkley6177]

Your not picking up compost its still vegetables etc the process of leaving it a bin etc may turn it into compost after time

[@NickzAdventures]

🇯🇲🇯🇲proud of you paul
