FREEPORT, Grand Bahama -- For most, the Christmas season is synonymous with presents, parties and loads of holiday fun, however, its by-products are loads of paper, plastic, cans, and bottles, etc. Essentially, what most persons would term "trash".  But, if you're a supporter or member of the Keep Grand Bahama Clean Committee (KGBC), you've already thought of dozens of ways to 'reduce, reuse or recycle' this so called trash and make them useful.

With this notion in mind, the KGBC group in partnership with Presto Recycling Company is hoping to brighten the holidays for a number of local charities for a major 'Holiday Recycling Initiative'. As expressed by Mrs. Nakira Wilchcombe, Environmental Manager for The Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited (GBPA) and KGBC Chairperson, this initiative will mark the soft re-launch of the initial pilot project for recycling aluminum cans.

"The Aluminum Can Recycling initiative was launched back in 2008, and while it continues to do well, particularly in the schools we want to take it to another level, in terms of partnership and exposure," stated Wilchcombe.

"We're really hoping that all of the locations currently participating in the aluminum can recycling initiative will give that extra push to take this holiday drive over the top," said Wilchcombe. "Also, we are spreading the word to all our KGBC members, so that they can promote it to their families, places of business, civic organizations, etc.  We want everyone to participate," she continued.
