SUBJECT: Ribbon Cutting for New Recycle Bins long Lincoln Road Purchased in
Partnership with Coca -Cola
This Letter to Commission is to inform you that there will be a ribbon cutting event on June
26, 2013 at 9:30 am at Euclid Circle to announce the placement of new recycling bins along'
Lincoln Road.
In partnership. with Coca -Cola, the City's recycling partner,.we will be placing 43 dual -unit
recycling bins along Lincoln Road. These recycling bins were custom designed by Coca --
' Cola to be more consistent with the unique design characteristics of the City of Miami Beach.
The new dual bin design is a pilot project, which if successful will be deployed throughout
the City.
The new dual -unit trash and recycling bins were purchased in partnership with Coca -Cola
and will replace the existing receptacles along Lincoln Road. These recycling bins will be
relocated to - other areas of the City that do not currently have recycling bins, thus further
promoting recycling throughout the City of Miami Beach.
The new dual units make it easy for residents and visitors to recycle and help the City
achieve its goals to reduce the volume of solid waste citywide and increase. solid waste
diverted from the landfill. This project enhances the environmental sustainability of the
community by providing a convenient recycling opportunity along one of the City's most
popular pedestrian areas.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
