Two changes that led to the overhaul are China's refusal in 2018 to accept waste from the U.S. and other countries and COVID-19, which changed purchasing habits and therefore resulted in more packaging material ending up in curbside bins and leaving the city's Material Recovery Facility unprepared to handle.
