America Recycles Day
It’s Official – America Recycles Day 2011 Registration is Open
Word of mouth is a powerful force. One of the biggest barriers to recycling for individuals is knowledge of what can be recycled in their community. On America Recycles Day, local event organizers like you overcome this barrier by hosting events that inform millions of people on what is recycled in their community. Please consider organizing an America Recycles Day event -- on or around November 15th. Over 40 events have already registered in Georgia…so you be next!!
Keep America Beautiful has created materials for event organizers like you to promote recycling awareness, commitment and action in your community. In addition to a downloadable “Go-to-Guide” to make it easy for you to organize a local event to get the word out, also available are free America Recycles Day banners, bookmarks, buttons, pencils, pledge cards and posters on a first-registered, first serve basis.

KAB Launches Nationwide K-12 School Recycling Competition-“Recycle Bowl”
First-Ever “Recycle-Bowl” Offers a Fun Approach to Waste Reduction and Environmental Responsibility
Keep America Beautiful, Inc., the nation’s largest volunteer-based community action and education organization, today announced the launch of “Recycle-Bowl,” the first comprehensive nationwide recycling competition for elementary, middle and high-school students. Recycle-Bowl was created to provide students with a fun, interactive way to learn about waste reduction and environmental responsibility through in-school recycling.
Open to all U.S. schools and classrooms, the incentive-based recycling competition and benchmarking program kicks off this October and registration is now open on the Recycle-Bowl website at http://recycle-bowl.org. The competition runs from October 17 through November 12, culminating around America Recycles Day. Participating schools will track and report how much recyclable material they collect for a chance to win prizes. At the close of the four-week competition, the school in each state that collects the most recyclable material per capita will win $1,000. A national champion will then be chosen from among the statewide winners to receive an additional grand prize of $2,500.
