Dr Pepper Snapple Group helps rev up recycling efforts

STAMFORD, Conn. — Dr Pepper Snapple Group, along with Keep America Beautiful, will provide parkgoers even more opportunities to recycle their cans and bottles thanks to 900 new recycling bins. 

 

Now entering its third year, the Dr Pepper Snapple Group/Keep America Beautiful Park Recycling Bin Grant program has awarded more than 2,500 recycling bins to local governments and community organizations across 33 states, the companies stated. 

 

“We’re pleased to see the momentum of our recycling bin grant partnership with Keep America Beautiful continue to build in its third year,” said Vicki Draughn, VP of corporate affairs for Dr Pepper Snapple. “Efforts like these are helping make recycling more convenient in our communities, reducing the waste going to landfills and making our public spaces cleaner and more enjoyable for everyone. It’s a win-win.”

 

Keep America Beautiful is a nonprofit that brings people together to build and foster healthy communities. A full list of community organizations that received the recycling grants can be found here.
