The Great American Can Round Up for Virginia Schools

Come Party, Recycle and Win with Al the Can
NOTE DEADLINE NOV 30!

Did you know that the beverage can is celebrating its 75^th birthday?  In honor of the recyclable aluminum beverage can, we encourage you to challenge your schools to see how many beverage cans they can recycle per capita between America Recycles Day (November 15) and Earth Day (April 22), 2011.  It’s an extraordinary opportunity for schools to show their true green spirit and environmental leadership by stepping up to the Great American Can RoundUp School Recycling Challenge.

The Can Manufacturers Institute, the national trade association of can manufacturers and their suppliers, is giving away a total of $56,000.  Your school could win up to $6,000, plus the value of the cans and the chance to win $50 pizza cards.  Have your area schools go towww.cancentral.com/RoundUp and register by November 30 to be eligible for the School Recycling Challenge.  There you will find everything needed to build recycling enthusiasm and rally the community for the win.

At www.cancentral.com/RoundUp you will be able to compare your schools’ recycling progress by state, region and nationally.  Environmental educators will also appreciate grade appropriate, free interdisciplinary curricula and worksheets for the classroom to continue the discussion of the positive impact on the environment through aluminum can recycling.

We look forward to seeing your schools on the Great American Can RoundUp School Challenge leader board.  Please contact Jenny Day at 202/232-4677, or by email jday@cancentral.com with any questions or ways we can help.
