BEAUMONT, Texas — Lamar University, in partnership with PepsiCo Recycling and Replenysh, is offering a free recycling collection event to help make recycling more accessible for Southeast Texans.
The event will take place Saturday, Dec. 4 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Montage Center parking lot at 4401 South MLK Pkwy in Beaumont.
Items to be collected are aluminum cans and plastic containers such as beverage bottles, detergent bottles, soap bottles and milk jugs. They'll also be collecting steel cans, glass and plastic thermoforms.
According to a news release, PepsiCo Recycling has partnered with Replenysh to enable routine recycling drives in communities without curbside recycling available.
Materials collected at the drives are taken to various recycling centers in the nearby area. The materials are then weighed and properly worked back into the supply chain, creating a circular economy where plastic never becomes waste.
Replenysh connects with communities looking for recycling solutions and ways to monetize their materials to make a positive impact by keeping recycling out of landfills, according to a news release. Replenysh collects data from the events and works toward maximizing efficiency and material value.
