Coke allocating more for recycling grants in America

摘要

Coca-Cola is increasing the amount of money it allocates to its bin grant program that helps municipalities, communities, organizations, government agencies, schools, colleges and universities purchase recycling bins to $350,000. Fort the first time, Coke's aid to Keep America Beautiful in 2012 will be two separate grants: $150,000 for colleges and universities, and $200,000 for everyone else. Since the program started in 2007, funding has been a single grant, typically around $200,000. "We decided to extend the bin grant program in order to reach more schools [as] several of the bin grant recipients in recent years have been colleges and universities," said a Coke spokeswoman.
