Grand Central Terminal, a historic transportation hub and architectural marvel, faces unique waste management challenges due to its 750,000 daily commuters and visitors. The constant flow of travelers, numerous food vendors, and retail establishments creates significant waste streams that often overwhelm existing disposal systems. While the terminal maintains a relatively clean appearance thanks to dedicated maintenance staff, behind-the-scenes waste sorting and recycling efforts struggle to keep pace with volume. Our mapping reveals hotspots near food courts and main concourses where improved bin placement, clearer signage, and strategic waste collection points could dramatically improve recycling rates and reduce contamination. Grand Central represents a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how efficient waste management systems can function effectively even in high-traffic urban environments.
