About Us

Residents for Sane Trash Solutions, Inc. (SaneTrash) is a volunteer community-based organization made up of people just like you! The organization’s purpose is to oppose the City’s horribly misguided plan to build a 2 acre, 10-story marine transfer station at East 91st Street that will harm Yorkville/East Harlem, and to promote a discussion regarding sane trash solutions.

When we started out, we were a few people working together to get our message out through a three-pronged strategy which included legal, lobbying and community outreach. SaneTrash has grown to almost 8,000 supporters and we now proudly participate with Pledge2Protect (P2P), a coalition of diverse citizens, organizations and businesses dedicated to protecting the health and safety of tens of thousands of New Yorkers by stopping the East 91st Street MTS.
