Ball, Coors and City of Golden Team Up to Establish Recycling
Drop-Off Center GOLDEN, Colo., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Ball Corporation, Coors Brewing Company and the City of Golden
today announced plans for a recycling drop-off center in Golden for
commingled aluminum, glass, steel and PET and HDPE plastic
containers (#1 and #2) as well as mixed paper. The recycling
drop-off center will open Dec. 6 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The center will be located at the southeast corner of the Splash
Aquatics Park parking lot, 3151 Illinois Street in Golden. Splash
is owned and operated by the City of Golden Parks and Recreation
Department. "There has never been an official budget to promote
recycling education and collection in Golden, and in times of
cutbacks it is even more difficult to establish funds for this
purpose," said Fran Phillips, environmental specialist for the City
of Golden. "By working together, Ball, Coors and the City of Golden
will create a convenient place for city residents to bring their
recyclables." Ball and Coors will pay the monthly collection costs
and collection container rental fees for recyclable materials
deposited at the new drop-off center. Tri-R Recycling will pick up
and process the recyclable materials. The City of Golden will
provide the center's location and oversee its operation with
volunteer help from the Lookout Mountain Youth Center Student
Council. "Ball and Coors each operate facilities in Golden and have
long been a part of the Golden community," said John R. Friedery,
chief operating officer for Ball's North American packaging
operations. "Both companies believe in the importance of recycling
and of being a good corporate citizen, and together with the City
of Golden hope this recycling drop-off center helps increase
recycling levels and raise awareness about the importance of
recycling." Ball Corporation (NYSE:BLL), based in Broomfield,
