THE CITY OF KENOSHA WAS RECENTLY SELECTED FOR AN INVESTMENT OF 520-THOUSAND
DOLLARS--AS PART OF THE BEVERAGE-INDUSTRY'S "EVERY BOTTLE BACK"-INITIATIVE.
AND, THE CITY WILL USE THE MONEY TO MODERNIZE ITS RECYCLING-PROGRAM. KATHERINE LUGAR IS THE
PRESIDENT AND C-E-O OF THE "AMERICAN BEVERAGE
ASSOCIATION"...
(LUGAR):
"AMERICA'S LEADING BEVERAGE-COMPANIES ARE EXCITED TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF
KENOSHA--TO IMPLEMENT A NEW, MODERN RECYCLING-PROGRAM THAT WILL PROVIDE IMPROVED SERVICE AND NEW CARTS TO 32-THOUSAND
HOUSEHOLDS--AS A PART OF OUR NATIONWIDE 'EVERY BOTTLE
BACK'-INITIATIVE. THE INVESTMENT WILL BOOST COLLECTION OF RECYCLABLE
MATERIALS--INCLUDING PLASTIC-BOTTLES AND ALUMINUM-CANS--AND [WILL] EDUCATE RESIDENTS ON HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR CURBSIDE PROGRAM AND CARTS.
OUR COMPANIES ARE INTENTIONALLY MAKING BOTTLES THAT ARE 100-PERCENT RECYCLABLE.
AND, TOGETHER, WE WILL ENSURE THAT THOSE VALUABLE, RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
DON'T END UP IN A LANDFILL--OR AS LITTER."
