The City of La Mesa has been awarded a grant in the amount of $113,850 from CalRecycle (California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery) to improve recycling opportunities at multifamily properties. Through the grant funding, the City is providing the RecyclePro indoor/outdoor recycling containers to complexes to be used in common areas to help increase their recycling and decrease trash use. In-home recycling tote bags and can crushers are also being provided. Approximately half of the housing in La Mesa is multifamily.
While researching different recycling container options, the City determined that the RecyclePro was the best fit for durability, functionality, appearance and cost. The City is supplying 230 cans to dozens of properties for use in areas such as lobbies, pools, laundry rooms, community rooms, and mail box spaces. The cans will be used for recycling of cans and bottles, as well as paper and other common recyclables.
Distribution of the cans will begin next week and conclude by mid-March 2012. At the 
end of the grant in September, a final report will be submitted to CalRecycle including data on recycling rates at properties receiving the RecyclePro recycling containers versus other types of containers. Some properties are only getting in-home bags and/or can crushers and there is also a control group that’s not participating at all.
RecyclePro Recycling Containers have covers and bodies that are silk screened with clear messages and logos that look professional and last indefinitely. Fibrex allows you to choose the message/logo you want for each opening of our recycling receptacles. Custom messages and corporate/government logos are easily prepared to customize your Recycle Pro Recycling Receptacles for a minimal set-up fee.
Available in three different sizes, these smartly designed recycling receptacles are already a favorite of commercial designers and purchasing agents across the country. Make RecyclePro Recycling Receptacles your preferred collection choice!
