Rhode Island Sets Recycling Goals for Annual Race
The annual CVS Caremark Downtown 5K comes to Providence this weekend, and the city has partnered with Waste Management to provide recycling options for the expected 12,000 attendees.
The Providence Department of Public Works is providing 30 recycling bins for drink containers. The city expects to recycle over 15,000 cardboard boxes that will hold T-shirts.
The race will take place this Sunday starting at 8 a.m. Find out where to recycle bottles and cans in your area using Earth911.

Well this is great that CVS is helping with recycling. How about all the out dated medicines that are ending up in the ground water. Do they have any ideas on what to do with these?????
Thanks Heidi

Hello all, I just started my own Flooring Business and I am working on bringing my love for recycling into my job. I was wonder if anyone could direct me to a place in Rhode Island that recycles carpet and other flooring materials? I wish all the best and keep recycling. We are making a difference, just ask all your friends and those you know who now recycle because of you. Thank you for any help you can give me and for recycling.
