Bethesda is working with Coca Cola and Honest Tea and the Bethesda Urban District to add street level recycling to their downtown. Sure, there are a bunch of trash cans there all ready, but no recycling options. That was, until yesterday, when Honest Tea President Seth Goldman helped kick off the project that’s been at least nine months in the offing. The Business Gazette first reported on this project back in September of last year:
‘‘People may recycle at home, but there is no place for consumers on the street to recycle,†he said.
Goldman recommended the addition of recycling bins next to trashcans on streets in the central business district.
Bethesda Urban Partnership, a nonprofit that promotes and maintains downtown Bethesda, providing trash pickup and other services, said it would be willing to help.
Nice to see Bethesda picking up some green sense for their downtown!
