Inner City Green Team at a Glance
The key to a successful recycling program is convenience
ICGT (Inner City Green Team) is a multi-tiered operation involving community engagement activities for the youngest to the eldest of participants.
Our “service delivery” approach makes recycling and waste prevention convenient and accessible to residents. We combine environmental education, door-to-door pick-up service for recyclables and reward incentives to motivate the community.
Our Impact

See how much we have collected
– Eric Adams, NYC Mayor
“Inner City Green Team [is] out here doing their thing and leaving no one behind. Making this conversation about saving our planet to all the communities"
– Shanique Green, Green City Force Corp member
“Taking this opportunity showed me better ways to change my own neighborhood - that's what made me want to stay on this project”
– NYC Council Member & Sanitation Committee Chair Antonio Reynoso
"Inner City Green Team has done more for recycling in NYC than the entire [Bill de Blasio] Administration"
– Donnell Moses, Green City Force Collection Team
“This pilot is important because even though we’re just recycling, we’re making the world a better place. Most plastics people use daily are recyclable, so if you get everybody used to recycling, it’ll become second nature, and we won’t have to worry about things being wasted.”
– Mr. Nogueras, Brownsville Houses Resident
“As someone who has difficulties bringing down recyclables, I find the service offered to be a life saver”
– Mr. Barley, Supervisor of Maintenance at Brownsville Houses
“There is a noticeable difference on the grounds, it’s so much cleaner. This program has to continue, it’s the best thing that has ever happened at Brownsville Houses. It is lightening the workload of the caretakers and frees them up to focus on other maintenance duties.”
