Coca-Cola to expand recycling grants program
Feb. 1 – Coca-Cola Co. and Keep America Beautiful have expanded their recycling bin grant initiative.
The 2012 Coca-Cola Recycling Bin Grant Program is designed to boost recycling in communities across the nation. Coca-Cola invested more into the program this year to include universities in addition to the public space bin grants, according to the company.
"Through the Coca-Cola Bin Grant Program, we´ve provided more than 20,000 recycling bins to help communities across the United States increase recycling," said Lori George Billingsley, community relations vice president for Coca-Cola Refreshments, in a news release. "We hope that by expanding this program to include additional funding dedicated to colleges and universities, we can further improve recycling and have a positive impact on the next generation of leaders."
The application deadline for grants is March 2.
"Providing recycling opportunities in public spaces is an important national initiative for our organization as we aim to increase our nation´s recycling rates," said Matthew M. McKenna, president and CEO of Keep America Beautiful, in a statement.
