The Greensboro City Swim Meet announced today that it will add 16 recycling cans and 8 recycling kiosks to the July 9-11 event at Lindley Park swimming pool, through a partnership with Aquafina, 107.5 WKZL, Green Day Waste & Recycling and the American Red Cross. The event has been a local mainstay for decades and thousands of parents and their children attend. Wow, just think how much recyclable material went to the landfill before.
The fact that businesses and organizations still announce their recycling plans let's me know how far this practice has to go in the area. On a related note, a special events recycling workshop will take place next week.
