At a recent meeting in conjunction with the Tennessee Recycling Coalition, the Southeast Recycling Development Council (SERDC) recognized the Curbside Value Partnership (CVP) program with one of three leadership awards.
The SERDC represents 11 southeastern states and chose award recipients based on the sustainability and innovation of the programs submitted and the ability of the programs to be duplicated in other areas.
Created four years ago, the CVP program is a research-based partnership with communities, haulers, MRFs and other stakeholders that seeks to identify solutions to improving curbside recycling programs and address failing recycling rates. The CVP is funded by the Aluminum Association and Can Manufacturer’s Institute. Sponsoring companies include Alcoa, Anheuser-Busch, ARCO Aluminum, Ball Corp., Novelis and REXAM.
