City of Klamath Falls and WM Improve Communities through Multifamily Recycling Project The City of Klamath Falls was awarded a WM Think Green® Grant as part of the environmental services company's nationwide effort to improve community environments through cleanups, beautification, recycling and educational programs. Nationwide, 50 grants were awarded. Beginning this fall, property managers of apartments and condos will be able to order free recycling bags for tenants. The bags will be distributed to tenants to use to collect their recyclable materials in their units. The bags will help increase recycling at apartments and condos by making recycling more convenient and providing a permanent reminder to tenants about what can be included in the mixed recycling. "Keep America Beautiful is committed to building and sustaining vibrant communities throughout the country," said Matthew M. McKenna, president and CEO of Keep America Beautiful. "WM is carrying our ideals forward in Klamath Falls through its partnership with the City of Klamath Falls. This on-the-ground support provides a vital foundation to creating socially connected, environmentally healthy and economically sound communities." "The WM Think Green® Grant provides us with a great avenue to demonstrate how WM and Keep America Beautiful Think Green every day," said Ben Hirengen, WM District Manager. "Helping to make our communities cleaner and safer is part of our company's mission to be a good community partner." WM supports KAB on numerous programs designed to increase recycling and support community sustainability. Print This Page
