Recycle Bin Grant
Recycling Association of Minnesota (RAM) is now accepting applications for a reycling bin grant. Follow the trend and "go green" at your next event. Recycling containers for bottles and cans are a huge hit at festivals, community events and other gatherings. It’s an easy way to reduce your environmental impact and, depending on the amount of recyclables collected, could save money on trash service for the event. Recycling just one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a television for three hours! | more information (pdf)
