Recycles Day: Nov. 15th – Start Planning Now!
Consider organizing an America Recycles Day event on or around
Nov 15.
And Don't
Forget to Register Your America Recycles Day Event!
America
Recycles Day (ARD) is a great time to expand awareness of your community’s
recycling options. Take the
opportunity to plan an event that informs and educates community members about what
is recycled in your community. Last year, there were several events planned in
small communities across the state, and promotional materials received at DEQ
were passed on to event organizers.
Keep
America Beautiful (KAB) has created materials for event organizers 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.
To
set up an account and register your America Recycles Day 2012 event, go to http://events.kab.org.
After
setting up your account, hit the register button and you will be taken to the
