The New York State-made hand sanitizer was produced in gallon bottles during Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration as an answer to shortages.
Hundreds of thousands of gallons of unused New York State-made bottles of hand sanitizer have been left sitting unused on a runway at a state training facility in Utica, New York that will now need to be recycled with a cost of somewhere around $4.3 million, according to estimates.
Now authorities say the very expensive answer to New York's pandemic-era temporary hand sanitizer shortage will cost around $2.3 million to pay Eastman Kodak to transport the sanitizer to Rochester, to distill the mixture and remove the isopropyl alcohol so that it can be used for manufacturing, CBS 6 Albany reported.
It's expected to take the better part of a year to recycle an abandoned stash of hand sanitizer that sat unused in central New York.
