A news release from the City of Tempe:
Amanda Nelson It’s now a little easier to be green in downtown Tempe. This week, the City of Tempe in partnership with Downtown Tempe Community installed three new recycling containers in the downtown area – on Mill Avenue at both Fifth and Sixth streets and at Tempe City Hall, 31 E. Fifth St. – making it easier for people to recycle while visiting downtown Tempe. The new outdoor recycling containers are blue with a small circular opening and sit next to existing brown trash containers. The containers are clearly labeled with the types of items that can be recycled – empty beverage containers (aluminum, glass, plastic) and newspapers. Tempe has provided recycling service to businesses in the downtown area for more than 20 years, representing the city’s commitment to building a sustainable community by diverting recyclables from the landfill. For information about Tempe’s business recycling program, please call (480) 350-8145 or visit www.tempe.gov/recycling.
