New York, NY – Across the Northeast, people are cooling off wherever they can. On Cape Cod, it's the National Seashore.
In Western New York, it's Lake Erie beaches. And in New York City, people are taking a dip right on the street -- in special pools made out of dumpsters.
As part of a collaboration with Northeast public radio stations, Sarah Reynolds reports the dumpsters are a clean hit. Northeast environmental reporting, part of NPR's Local News Initiative, is made possible by a grant from United Technologies.
