We are happy to announce that we will have a much stronger
emphasis on recycling at this year’s race. There will be a dozen
new special event recycling containers, and at least 60
additional temporary recycling containers within Piedmont Park
to assist in this effort. The new special event containers are
quite distinctive, and make recycling cans and plastic bottles
easy. The vast majority of the waste generated at the race is
material that can be recycled. Many people do not know that
these materials are then used by manufacturers right here in
Georgia. We wanted to make sure we’re doing our part in keeping
these materials out of the landfill and supporting Georgia
businesses. All of the recycling containers have been provided
by Atlanta Recycles.
Atlanta Recycles is an organization made of governmental,
corporate and non-profit partners- all focusing on increasing
recycling and making Atlanta a great place to live, work and
play.
