Recycle
for Reading Program
Just One More Pound!
Recycling not only saves the planet but now can also help raise up to
$25,000 to benefit your local City of Mesa Library through the Recycle
for Reading Program. For every additional pound of material Mesa
residents recycle over last year’s total* between July 1, 2008, and June
30, 2009, a direct contribution will be made to the library for the
purchase of new library material. Reaching this goal is as easy as every
Mesa household recycling just one extra pound of material per week.
Here’s how you can help:
1. Learn what is recyclable in Mesa’s
BLUE BARREL PROGRAM.
2. Place all acceptable material in your blue recycle barrel at home.
That’s all there is to it!
For more information, call the Mesa Recycling Hotline at (480)
644-2222.
* In FY 07/08, a total of 35,455 tons of material was recycled in Mesa's
Blue Barrel Program. A direct contribution will be made to the City of
Mesa Library for every additional pound of material recycled above this
amount during FY 08/09. Maximum total contribution not to exceed
$25,000.
