“In order to promote recycling in open public spaces, grant applications required that the applicant’s facilities be available for public use,” stated Dianne Woske, President of NYSAR3. She explained further that school playing fields qualified only if they are open to youth or adult activities and are not restricted to interscholastic competition.

While ClearStream portable recyclers can also be used indoors, NYSAR3 expects most of the containers to be used outdoors at public sporting events, festivals and fairs. ClearStream portable recycling containers include a durable steel frame, snap-on plastic lid and use clear plastic bags that promote beverage container collection with virtually no contamination. Bold recycling graphics and an easy to service, 45-Gallon capacity clear plastic bag help ClearStream clearly communicate what is to be recycled.
