Keep America Beautiful launches 2016 Recycle-Bowl

Nonprofit organization Keep America Beautiful, Stamford, Connecticut, has announced the launch of its Sixth Annual Recycle-Bowl competition, which educates students and communities nationwide on what and how to recycle and provides resources to improve recycling in America.

“Keep America Beautiful is determined to end littering, improve recycling and reduce waste and beautify America’s communities,” says Brenda Pulley, senior vice president of recycling for Keep America Beautiful. “Recycle-Bowl and America Recycles Day are key fall initiatives to educate, motivate and activate individuals and entire communities to better understand what to place in recycling bins and the many environmental, economic and social benefits of recycling.”

Recycle-Bowl begins Oct. 17, 2016, and ends on America Recycles Day, Nov. 15. Registration is open to teachers, school administrators, school facility managers, PTA/PTO and other parent groups and local recycling advocates and remains open until Oct. 11. 

The nonprofit is encouraging participants to take the #BeRecycled Pledge.

“Recycle-Bowl and America Recycles Day provide the encouragement and resources to help make recycling a common practice, every day of the year,” Pulley says. “We encourage all community and environmentally minded  people, schools, business and organizations to participate in Recycle-Bowl and America Recycles Day and to take the #BeRecycled Pledge in a collective national effort to improve recycling in America.”
