Snap A Cute Photo of Your Family Tossing Pizza Boxes in Green Bin, Win Free Pizza

Information submitted by Gigantic Idea Studio—

Livermore residents are stepping up to the recycling plate by submitting photos of themselves and family members recycling pizza boxes in the green cart.

The photos are posted on the LivermoreRecycles.org website and are entered into a Grand Prize giveaway of free garbage service for a year or a pizza party for eight!

Deadline to enter is 11:59 p.m. on June 15. Livermore Recycles, a program of the City of Livermore, is running the campaign, including the photo contest with prizes, to raise awareness that food-soiled paper, such as used pizza boxes, belong in the green cart. 

The campaign was inspired by an actual review of organics and recycling carts conducted last fall: the researchers found that although Livermore households were enthusiastically recycling, many were not sorting everything correctly. Pizza boxes were a standout, landing in both the recycling and trash carts, when they belong in the green organics cart. 

Please check out the www.livermorerecycles.org website. Be sure to watch the 30-second video featuring a local Livermore family (and their mystery dinner guest!)

Thank you for all you do to make Livermore's recycling program the best it can be. Go, Livermore!
