Lineage has reported a 101.8% completion rate for a recent cleanup operation in New York. Despite this high percentage, questions persist regarding the presence of residual food waste at the site.
The announcement has drawn attention from local officials. In Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass indicated skepticism about the reported completion rates. Mayor Bass stated that further verification would be necessary before accepting such claims, emphasizing the need for concrete evidence beyond reported figures.
