- crazygringo 6y agoAs far as I know, all of it. NYC never sent anything to China in the first place. It's all recycled locally by Sims, as it has been long before anything China did in the past few years: https://www.simsmunicipal.com/ https://www.simsmunicipal.com/ They have a long-term (and exclusive, I believe) contract with the city.
