Trash Project Updates

We need to figure out how exactly we’ll be spending the funding from the Baltimore Community Foundation for recycle bins. We want it to be a useful projects that will advance other goals and also fulfill the terms of the grant.

 

We need to have a community engagement and an incentive component.

 

Options are an area-wide recycling raffle, having bins and connecting with a community event for some sort of giveaway–connect them with resources about recycling, have a follow up with the people who get them. Could connect with the back to school events. Giveaway could be VISA card. Take a picture and text it to the SWP (hashtag?).

 

Anti-litter: moving forward applying for funding.

 

Dan suggested using a celebrity to promote proper trash disposal.
