Travel Agency And after spending nearly a decade teaching people to separate their bottles and jars, the city does not plan to embark on any big, costly advertising campaign to publicize the new recycling rules, which will now require that glass and plastics are put in the regular garbage, not in recycling bags with metals. Instead, officials said, they expect people to get the point in a more direct, possibly more sensory way: bags left on the streets.

Selected Tokyo hotels as per the list below. If you are staying at one of the following hotels and wish for a hotel pick up, you MUST enter your hotel details (Name and address) in the 'Hotel Pick Up" box.

The supplier contact details will be on your voucher once you have a confirmed booking.

Cheap Hotel "We're not going to pick it up," John J. Doherty, the sanitation commissioner, said yesterday. "If the crews see that there is contamination, other materials, in that bag or can, they're going to leave it there. We're going to ask the building superintendents, the homeowners, to bring it back in and sort out the metal. But we won't pick it up."

Travel Agent "Old habits are hard to break," said Michael McMahon, a councilman from Staten Island who fought the new rules. "We spent years trying to encourage good recycling habits. One of the reasons we argued against any suspension is it's going to lead to chaos. If they're going to leave the trash on the curbside, and not pick it up, then it's going to lead to a major littering problem throughout the city."

Hotel Chicago Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg suspended glass and plastic recycling to help the city close a $5 billion shortfall. Getting rid of regular garbage costs the city roughly $65 a ton, he said, while taking plastics and glass to sorting centers costs $110 a ton. And since there is not much demand for recycled glass and plastic, he said, many of those jars and bottles wound up in landfills anyway.

Travel Health Insurance The city will not fine people for recycling infractions for at least 60 days, officials said, while the public gets used to the new rules. When the grace period is over, though, many of those fines are expected to double, to up to $100.

London Hotel Booking Since the advent of blue recycling bags, bottle and can collectors knew to pick only through the ones that contained metal, glass and plastic, minimizing the mess. Now that most New Yorkers will be throwing their bottles in the regular trash, some people fear that the scavengers will begin looking through all garbage bags, leaving more, smellier litter behind.

Orlando Hotel Steven Spinola, the president of the Real Estate Board of New York, a trade organization, said that his group would send an e-mail to real estate management agencies, suggesting that they advise tenants to put redeemable bottles in clear plastic bags, so that collectors could find them without disturbing other garbage.

Booking Agency Since the point of the new rules is to save money, the city will not be spending much to teach the public about them. (In the past, the city spent millions on television commercials teaching people to separate glass and plastic, including one that featured Joe Torre, the Yankees manager, and Rudolph W. Giuliani.)

International Travel Medical Mr. Doherty, the sanitation commissioner, said that his department would stuff fliers explaining the new rules in mailboxes and send a letter out to New Yorkers later this summer. He said that the department would stick decals on improperly sorted bags that are not picked up, telling people that they should take out everything but the metal.

New York Hotel Environmentalists fought the partial suspension of the city's recycling program, arguing that it would deal a setback to their efforts to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills. Mark A. Izeman, a senior lawyer at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said that many groups would now be working to improve the system.

Online Travel Booking "The challenge now," he said, "is to identify ways to restore plastic and glass recycling in a more cost-effective fashion."
