Hello! I'm new here :)

Can we turn off the doorbell chim?

Welcome Aknott :)

Hey Cody! :)

Hi Jennifer!

Julie Winchel can you mute your phone?

I heard a Keep America Beautiful Radio Commercial last week. I assume they purchased the entire DFW DMA. The message was “I want to be recycled”. If I heard it right, it tells listeners to go here: https://berecycled.org/Does anyone know about this campaign? What media are they running in DFW (Radio, print, social, etc.) how much they are spending and the dates the campaign started and will end?Will this help us or distract from our efforts?

Would it be possible to have the digital files for the ads to utilize in our local parks and rec. guides, magazines, and newspapers?

Yes, I would be interested to know that as well, Tiana!

Also will these ads be customizable?

Hi! This is Allison. And absolutely Tiana - working artwork for the ads will be made available on the web page with all assets.

Super - thank you, Allison! The City of Garland will utilize all marketing vehicles at our disposal.

I believe we will be leaning on individual publications to customize the ad files. But working art files will be available.

Did I just see a juice carton in the recyclables? Isn't that a waxed cardboard item?

That is a great question. Most cartons are actually poly coated, not actually wax. These have been included based on the accepted materials feedback we have received from communities and research. We can chat with you more about this if it does not suite your community.

correct, alita, neither cartons nor juice boxes are wax. they are poly coated and there is a special grade that MRFs can sell to paper mills

but only 4 out of the 9 MRFs take cartons so those that don’t take cartons would not put that category in their educational materials

I'm here

Hi, Tiana- I know we are planning on having bilingual versions of the info cards, cart tags, and bill stuffers.

not sure why my phone isn't working
