Baton Rouge Launches New Recycling Education Campaign

The City of Baton Rouge is asking residents to create a tradition of recycling, starting at home. Recently selected by the Curbside Value Partnership (CVP), a national effort focused on increasing participation in curbside recycling, Baton Rouge is kicking off a new education campaign. The campaign, called CART IT! encourages residents to get a recycling cart and use it regularly. 

“Baton Rouge is already making great strides since the launch of our new single stream program last year,” Mayor-President Melvin “Kip” Holden says. “There’s so much focus nowadays on reducing greenhouse gas emissions that people often forget recycling is the easiest way to make an impact on a truly global issue. I like to say that recycling is one way we can all become everyday environmentalists. ”
