60 new recycling bins installed in Duluth Parks

Through the Keep America Beautiful Dr.Pepper/Snapple Program

 


[Duluth, MN] – Duluth Parks is able to improve its recycling program thanks to a grant from Keep America Beautiful, Dr. Pepper/Snapple Park Bin grant program. As of this week, 60 recycling bins have been distributed to 8 Duluth parks, making a substantial addition to the 22 recycling bins that Duluth Parks already maintains. This will make it easier for the public to help maintain the beauty of Duluth parks.

 

The City is encouraging all parks users to recycle aluminum, glass, and plastic containers in the recycling bins provided. The new bins are placed at the following locations:

  • Wheeler Fields
  • Park Point
  • Brighton Beach
  • 12th Street Beach
  • Fairmont Park
  • Memorial Park
  • Portland Square
  • Lakewalk


Park Maintenance staff will be gathering and recording the amount of recycling collected in pounds. The data collected will help Duluth Parks better plan and accommodate recycling needs in the future.

 

There will be a handful of roving bins available at the Park Maintenance building for special events that occur in our parks.
