Dewayne Johnson, Executive Director of the Iowa Recycling Coalition asked me to post this note to the Green Yes Listserve. **************************************** Patricia Franklin Executive Director Container Recycling Institute 1776 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Suite 800 Washington, D.C. 20036-1904 Tel.(202) 263-0999 Fax: (202) 263-0949 www.container-recycling.org and www.bottlebill.org ----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Dewayne Johnson Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 2:42 PM To: BBAN Subject: Recycling in Atlanta Did anyone else see the note in today's Mobius from NRC? New Alliance Formed to Collect Recyclables in Atlanta The plastics, aluminum, and newsprint industries united on America Recycles Day to kickoff a program to increase recycling throughout the Atlanta area, which will host NRC's 25th Annual Congress & Expo, October 22-25, 2006. SP Recycling brought together the American Plastics Council and aluminum manufacturer Novelis Inc., along with the Coca-Cola Company, to provide convenient recycling drop-off locations at 50 locations throughout metro Atlanta for plastic bottles, aluminum cans and old newspapers. The program was announced at the Atlanta Zoo, the program's first location. It's great that they're getting something going, but I thought that BPEC (and, thus NRC, based on everything that we've seen to date) was encouraging enhancing and developing more curbside programs - not drop-off collection. Sounds like some conflict between recommendation and implementation.
