The Recycling Partnership Issues 10 Recycling Grants The Recycling Partnership, Falls Church, Virginia, an- nounced October 8 that one year after hosting its inaugural Leadership Summit where representatives from 50 cities attended a two-day recycling summit, the organization is partnering with 10 of those communities to improve recy- cling. The Recycling Partnership said these collaborations and resulting grants will affect 1.3 million households by helping reduce contamination and capture more than 37 million new pounds of quality recyclables. The June 2019 summit, sponsored in part by the Pepsi- Co Foundation, the Walmart Foundation and Target, fea- tured how-to workshops and showcased best management practices for implementing new recycling infrastructure, fighting contamination and creating messaging to drive be- havior change. Participants were equipped with tools and resources to drive recycling transformation locally. Summit attendees represented 50 of the largest U.S. com- munities focused on improving curbside recycling pro- grams and recycling at multifamily properties. Combined, these cities included more than 45 million Americans, or 14 percent of the U.S. population. Leadership grantees in- clude the cities of Baltimore, Maryland; Detroit, Michigan; Houston, Texas; Omaha, Nebraska; Philadelphia, Pennsylva- nia; Portland, Oregon; San Diego, California; Tacoma,Wash- ington;Tucson,Arizona; andWashington, DC.
