Recycling Education (Cont’d from Page 1) feedback on how to recycle more and better in their curb- side recycling cart. To date, more than 70 communities across the U.S. have adopted The Recycling Partnership’s Feet on the Street cart-tagging program. Some communities have seen reductions as high as 57 percent of their baseline contamination rates through the implementation of this program. The first grant in Orange County brought Feet on the Street to 36,000 households in 2019 and thanks to addition- al funding from the Coca-Cola Foundation, another grant was provided to bring the program to an additional 30,000 households. The Partnership’s mission is to bring together the highly dependent parts of the recycling system, so its work in Flor- ida has extended beyond the community front, incorporat- ing industry packaging labeling. To further explore how to increase the quality and quan- tity of recycling materials put in the bin, The Partnership worked with How2Recycle in Orlando to distribute com- munity-facing How2Recycle messaging and test if it would help residents look for recyclability labeling on packaging. Many participants shared that they looked for the How2Re- cycle label on product packaging after receiving the infor- mation and acknowledged that the label helped them easily understand recycling information.These findings open the door for additional work in this space toward unifying on- pack and community recycling information. The How2Recycle project in Orlando not only increased awareness of on-pack recyclability labeling, there was an observed reduction in contamination at all multifamily properties that received the totes, info cards and FAQs with How2Recycle messaging. Republic Required To Divest Assets For Santek Acquisition The U.S. Department of Justice announced that Republic Services Inc., Phoenix, Arizona, will be required to divest waste collection and disposal assets in five states in or- der to proceed with its acquisition of Santek Waste Ser- vices LLC, Cleveland,Tennessee.The department said that without the divestiture, the proposed acquisition would substantially lessen competition for small container com- mercial waste collection and municipal solid waste dis- posal services in six local markets across the southeastern United States. The department’s Antitrust Division—along with the Al- abama Attorney General—filed a civil antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block the proposed transaction.At the same time, the department filed a proposed settlement that, if approved by the court, would resolve the competitive harm alleged in the depart- ment’s complaint. Republic generated total revenues of approximately $10.2 billion in 2020. Santek generated total revenues of approximately $140 million in 2019, the last year for which information is publicly available.
