CleanScapes Now Accepting Waste Reduction Proposals

The organization CleanScapes is now accepting waste reduction project proposals.

Do you live in Hillwood, Innes Arden, Richmond Beach, or Richmond Highlands?  Then you are part of the winning Thursday collection area for the 2011/2012 Neighborhood Waste Reduction Rewards competition, receiving a $10,000 reward to fund a community project.

CleanScapes, a company that provides solid waste collection and community programs in Washington and California, rewarded those four neighborhoods the project money after they reduced their total waste - garbage, recycling, and food/yard waste - by 2.2% from the year before.

CleanScapes' annual waste reduction competition challenges residents to reduce waste including garbage, recycling, food scraps and yard debris.
