Recycling Bin Grant Program

This is an interesting idea for municipalities such as Watkinsville, Bishop or Bogart who might not think the County's limited recycling is enough.

Woven brightly,

Subject: [oconee] Recycling Bin Grant Program

At one of our meetings we discussed providing recycling bins for local events. One of the concerns was the cost of the bins. Well, here is an opportunity to get free bins. There are several different designs we can pick from. Some of which we could add our logo in the form of a large sticker. Check it out and see if you think this is something the committee would like to do.

Coca-Cola and National Recycling Coalition Offer Recycling
Bin Grant Program

Deadline: April 4, 2008

The Coca-Cola/National Recycling Coalition Recycling Bin Grant
Program supports local community recycling programs by providing
selected grant recipients with containers for the collection of
beverage container recyclables in public settings. Selected
grant recipients will receive actual recycling bins instead of
funding.

The grant program is open to government, civic, school, nonprofit
groups, and for-profit companies. Eligible activities include,
but are not limited to, establishing or enhancing a recycling
collection program. This includes the use of specialized con-
tainers at community events or functions, public facilities, and
programs or events conducted by applicants.

Bin grants are awarded twice annually in the spring and fall
during open solicitation periods. The next scheduled grant
application will open March 3, 2008 and extend through April 4,
2008.

Visit the program's Web site for further information.
