Edinburg, Texas – UTRGV Community Day on Saturday, Oct. 6, will participate in the Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages (CCSWB) and Keep Texas Beautiful “Weekend without Waste” campaign, with recycling teams stationed at the UTRGV Edinburg Campus.
“Weekend without Waste” is part of the Coca-Cola Company’s “World without Waste” initiative to collect and recycle the equivalent of every bottle or can it sells globally by 2030.
The company, and bottling partners like Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages, are tackling the collection goal through a renewed focus on the entire packaging lifecycle – from how bottles and cans are designed and made, to how they are recycled and repurposed.
“We are happy to partner with Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages as one of our HESTEC supporters. Forty recycling bins will be stationed throughout the HESTEC Community Day venue, and the Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages will activate associates to help provide educational information to our visitors,” said Velinda Reyes, assistant vice president for Community Programs and Operations.
In addition to UTRGV’s HESTEC 2018, this year’s partners “Weekend without Waste” partners include the Houston Texans, San Antonio ISD, San Antonio Spurs, State Fair of Texas, Keep Dallas Beautiful, Keep Houston Beautiful, OU Club of Dallas, UT HESTEC, Texas Exes, and Waste Management-Houston.
