Pilot Program to expand

The results of our 21 day pilot program at Davenport Park are as follows. All three bins were used but never completely filled. The Plastic and Aluminum bins were close to half-way full and the Glass bin contained only a few bottles.

We have decided to expand our studies to include Lighthouse Park and Hamilton Upchurch Skate Park beginning this week. If you are out enjoying any of these parks in the month of December please recycle.

Thank You.

Project 2 Pilot Program will begin Monday, November 8, 2010

450NEXT is set to deploy phase I of project 2 beginning Monday, November 8, 2010.

Davenport Park a.k.a. "The Carousel Park" will be the subject of this 21 day experiment and data collection exercise. 8 handsome recycling containers will be available for public use.

If you find yourself at Davenport Park in the month of November (maybe taking a few spins on the carousel) please recycle with a smile, knowing you did your part in helping keep unnecessary materials from our landfills. If we all work together, we can make a difference.

Project #2

The 450 Next Committee has decided to tackle the lack of recycling awareness in the City and surrounding County. Only 43% of the city resident's recycle and we want to increase that percentage. Therefore, we are going to create, along with community children, recycling containers to be placed at four pilot parks (Upchurch, Davenport, Fullerwood and Lighthouse) to act as symbols for our awareness campaign. We have a lot of work to do to accomplish this goal so, any input is appreciated!
