Since plastic film is not currently accepted in most curbside recycling programs, Food Lion identified this as an opportunity to provide their local communities with a place to responsibly recycle it. It was decided that an adaption of our Nexus® City 64G Recycling Containers was an ideal solution to help collect large volumes of plastic film, paper and mixed beverage containers from customers and employees.

As part of the customer-led project, Food Lion were able to personalize their units with specially-colored flip lids and a key-less operation. The company's logo was incorporated onto the graphics to help promote the program throughout the community and tailor-made magnetic boards also helped to create a visible recycling station.

We're glad we could help Food Lion work towards creating a healthy and sustainable community.
