According to NYC Local Law 87 ALL NYC bussinesses are required to recycle any recyclable waste. But, I have yet to see one theater in NYC make an effort to recycle the thousands of Playbills that are thrown out on a daily basis. Why is this? Is there a loophole that I'm missing?

I work in NYC theatres, and here's what I have observed:
1. Many theatres have a rack in the back or by the door, although usually unmarked, where theatre-goers tend to deposit playbills.
2. Ushers picking up playbills from the floor will return them to the pile if they are in decent condition.
3. If a patron throws a playbill in the garbage, they don't get recycled.
4. I believe that when Playbill delievers new editions to a theatre, they take whatever is left of the old palate and recycle it.
Just my observations.

When fans send in letters requesting autographs, a lot of those old Playbills that are left in the theatres are signed by the actors and sent off. I suppose that recycles some of them.
