Public parks in the US will be getting cleaner as a result of a new Dr Pepper Snapple Group/Keep America Beautiful (KAB) Park Recycling Bin Grant programme.
The initiative is designed to expand recycling in different park settings. In an effort to help local, regional and state parks increase and make more convenient recycling opportunities for visitors, the drinks group has committed to a one-year collaboration with KAB to fund the placement of recycling bins.
In total, 33 grants are being awarded to local and state governments in 23 states. The grants will provide 710 durable, permanent recycling bins.
Twenty-five of the communities receiving grants intend to place bins at athletic fields; 21 will locate bins in small neighbourhood parks; and 19 will use bins to establish recycling along walking trails and other natural settings. Additional bins will be placed in state parks, beach and water front locations, and larger urban parks.
