Target has launched permanent community recycling stations in all of its 1,740 stores to kick-off a month-long celebration of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day this month.
The recycling stations provide shoppers a way to drop off for recycling aluminum, glass and plastic beverage containers, plastic bags, MP3 players, cell phones and ink cartridges, and other materials. A full description of recyclables that are accepted is available at Target.com/eco-friendly.“We know that eco-friendly living is top-of-mind for our guests, and the launch of store recycling stations allows us to continue to partner with them to curb unnecessary waste in our stores and our communities,” says Shawn Gensch, vice president of brand marketing, Target. “Target is committed to the preservation of the environment and to giving our guests eco-friendly options that will help them live more sustainably.”
