In the latest edition of our ongoing series “On Call,” Flyer photojournalist Milo Gladstein spends time with a NeWSolutions Recycling crew. The photo project follows people on jobs requiring 24/7 coverage.
The company ownership is made up of seven independent Tulsa-area trash haulers to cover a greater area of the metro and northeast Oklahoma in solid waste disposal in an environmentally sound way. Ownership is Northeast Waste Solutions LLC but does business as NeWSolutions.
The busiest time for midtown Tulsa is Friday, according to the crew we followed.
