ISRI and Jason Learning have developed a school curriculum to help teachers and students understand both the importance of recycling and the recycling industry.  The campaign includes branded, standards-based, K-12 curricular experiences; interactive Web-based experiences to enhance student engagement; classroom posters featuring ISRI's key educational messages; a leveraged national distribution network; strategies for school visits to ISRI facilities; age-appropriate lessons for grades K-4, 5-8, and 9-12; for each grade band, a two to four page classroom lesson based on life cycle for each commodity; and much, much more.

RecycleMania 2016

RecycleMania - in partnersihp with CURC and Keep America Beautiful; is a friendly competition and benchmarking tool for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities. Over an 8-week period each spring, colleges across the United States and Canada report the amount of recycling and trash collected each week and are in turn ranked in various categories based on who recycles the most on a per capita basis, as well as which schools have the best recycling rate as a percentage of total waste and which schools generate the least amount of combined trash and recycling.  With each week’s updated ranking, participating schools follow their performance against other colleges and use the results to rally their campus to reduce and recycle more.
Registration opens September 15.

2015 Coca-Cola Bin Grant Program Awards 5,300 Recycling Bins to 52 Communities and 37 Colleges
KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL HELPS INCREASE ACCESS TO RECYCLING BINS NATIONWIDE


STAMFORD, Conn. (April 29, 2015) — Recycling will become more convenient this summer when Keep America Beautiful and The Coca-Cola Company award 89 grants to communities in 41 states across the nation. The Coca-Cola/Keep America Beautiful Recycling Bin Grant Program will provide 3,662 recycling bins to colleges and universities, along with 1,638 bins to local governments and nonprofit organizations. The recycling bins are made possible through a grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation, the philanthropic arm of The Coca-Cola Company.

More than 66 percent of the bins are designed specifically for permanent, ongoing use in public spaces such as athletic fields, K-12 schools, fairs and festivals, special events and park settings, with the remaining 44 percent to be used by students in college residence hall settings. 

“Research has shown that convenience is a key factor in getting people to recycle,” said Brenda Pulley, senior vice president, recycling, Keep America Beautiful. “With Coca-Cola’s continued support, the recycling bins provided through the grant program create literally thousands of new opportunities for people to recycle in public areas across the country.”
