Zoo Atlanta, the NFL, Verizon, and the Atlanta Super Bowl Host Committee teamed up to host a Super Bowl Recycling Rally Saturday morning. Thanks to the free event, the community was able to help contribute to the “greening” of the Super Bowl.
“We were just excited to hear there was a recycling event, a lot of times with small electronics, there’s a fee, which is fine, sometimes we pay that, but it was a big incentive to come out and recycle things in an eco-friendly way and get some stuff out of the house,” said Kris Smith. Smith and her kids happened to be number 53 in line to drop off their e-waste today at Zoo Atlanta. They received a football from the NFL since Super Bowl 53 is right around the corner. “We were trying to be environmentally responsible and we got treated for it,” Smith added.
