Toolkit
Your Bottle Means Jobs toolkit for recycling coordinators, businesses, non-profits, and other recycling professionals helps spread the word about bottle recycling to help our Carolinas' economy.
You can make a difference, it's easy!
When you recycle, you help give a person a job or keep them working in the Carolinas' plastics recycling industry.
What do you need to do? Recycle more and share our program!
