Where did YOU see ROG in 2016?
If you attended any events in the St. Louis region, you probably saw us there!
In 2016, St. Louis Earth Day continued many multi-year relationships with area businesses and organizations that hold special events. Through Recycling On the Go (ROG), we are able to provide education, recycling, and composting services to diverse groups at a variety of venues throughout the St. Louis City and County.
Once again, ROG increased its impact, as compared to previous years. Recycling on the Go teamed up with 112 individual events in 2016, providing services on 166 event days– 16 more than last year! We partnered with 39 new events through our Full Service staffed model and our Do-It-Yourself equipment loan program. More than 70 events occur annually and we have been at some for over 6 years allowing ROG to become an established partner with event organizers and an anticipated part of patrons’ experience.
