ODNR Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention Partners Ensuring Success in Ohio

Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals     
Promote RecyclingChomps with Cuyahoga Solid Waste District Staff


ODNR's Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention recently awarded a $50,000 grant to the Cleveland Browns to expand their recycling program into the "Tailgate Terrace" during selected home games outside of the Cleveland Browns Stadium.

The division and the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District will have a tent and access to the Tailgate Terrace and provide recycling information to nearly 73,200 Browns fans at a minimum of 3 home games.

Cleveland Browns have committed to implementing a recycling awareness campaign involving an identified recycling message, "Browns Going Green....Powered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources."  The recycling theme will be portrayed on the in stadium scoreboard, LED Ribbon Board signage, and a 30 second post game radio message at every regular season home game during the 2010 season.

In addition, the Browns marketing representatives have agreed to communicate with their counterparts with the Cincinnati Bengals to support recycling efforts in each stadium respectively and to create awareness and messaging to showcase their recycling efforts and report on the effectiveness of their recycling programs.
