LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- The powerhouse organizations behind such popular annual events as America Recycles Day and the Earth Day Recycling Event, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful and Gwinnett County Department of Solid Waste, are teaming up for something NEW in September. Inspired by the popularity of pop-up shops, events, and food trucks, the two organizations have scheduled a series of pop-up recycling events. Hosted at a variety of Gwinnett County parks throughout the month of September, the events will include the collection of glass bottles and jars for recycling and paper for shredding.
"After 44 years as Gwinnett County's leading eco-focused non-profit, we've learned that paper is one of those items that tend to pile up in our neighbors' houses and offices," said Schelly Marlatt, Executive Director for Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful. "Our events that incorporate paper shredding are always well-attended, so we know that portion of our new pop-up events will be well-received by attendees. We are also extremely proud that glass recycling has not only returned to Gwinnett County but has also recently been expanded. Thanks to a Recycling & Waste Diversion Grant from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division and our partnership with Ripple Glass, we now have 15 glass recycling drop-off sites throughout the county. Unfortunately, the word still hasn't gotten out to all our citizens – so these events will prove excellent opportunities for us to increase awareness."
