Central Ohio Seeks To Boost Curbside Recycling The American Beverage Association (ABA), in partnership withThe Recycling Partnership and SolidWasteAuthority of Central Ohio (SWACO), announced that Pleasant Township and the city of Whitehall are receiving an investment under the Every Bottle Back initiative, a sustained effort to reduce the industry’s use of new plastic and keep its bottles out of the environment. Collectively, the two communities will receive grants to- taling more than $250,000 from SWACO and The Recycling Partnership, including $116,800 invested through Every Bottle Back. These grants build on the beverage industry’s commit- ment to enhance the collection of recyclable materials, like its fully recyclable bottles, in key regions across the United States and The Partnership’s efforts to bring access to recy- cling across the country and catalyze a circular economy. The collective investment will help pay for 7,300 new re- cycling carts, enough for every household in both commu- nities, and fund technical program assistance, education and outreach about the new collection process. “This critical, regional investment will yield 15.1 million new pounds of materials collected over 10 years – includ- ing 592,000 pounds of fully recyclable polyethylene tere- phthalate (PET) plastic and 227,000 pounds of aluminum,” said Kimberly McConville, executive director of the Ohio Beverage Association.
