More about Earth911:
Earth911 is a national network providing visitors with community-specific environmental information through a ZIP code search function. Through a recent partnership, the Aluminum Association and Earth911 plan to increase aluminum can recycling, raise visibility for environmental protection and spotlight Habitat for Humanity affiliates nationwide that recycle aluminum cans to raise money for local programs.
By inputting a ZIP code, site visitors can find the nearest recycling center for aluminum cans and other recyclable materials, local curbside bin and schedule information, ways to dispose of household hazardous waste and other helpful environmental information. Habitat affiliates that participate in the national recycling program can also post drop-off locations, recycling events and other recycling facts for local residents to access.
Another attribute of the Earth911 partnership is educating children about recycling, while providing them with important local information. In mid-2003, a public service announcement (PSA) was created. The PSA features popular television character Jimmy Neutron and his dog, Goddard, from the Nickelodeon TV series “The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius.” The PSA and its Web site, www.recycleyourcans.org, promote the value of recycling aluminum cans to children. Now, with a link to www.earth911.org, youth who visit the site have easy access to information about recycling opportunities (from buy-back locations to curbside dates) in their communities.
