Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful has won a $10,000 “Recycle on the Go” grant from Nestlé Waters North America in a partnership with Keep America Beautiful.
The funds will help tackle public space recycling at four major Hillsborough County park facilities with 75,000 visitors per year. The sites chosen are Northdale, Shimberg, Ed Radice Sports Complex and Lake Park.
“As a country, we have got to do better when it comes to recycling,” said Kim Jeffery, president of Nestlé, which has committed to helping to increase plastic beverage bottle recycling rates to 60% by 2018. “One community at a time, one container at a time, we will work with great organizations like Keep America Beautiful to make recycling easier for people.”
