4 a Greener Game- Cardinals

The Cardinals began the "4 A Greener Game Program" at Busch Stadium during the 2008 season as a two month pilot program. After tremendous success, the program now averages over 25 volunteers per game with numbers increasing year after year.

Since its inception, the program has diverted over 1,836 tons of recycling and over 575 tons of yard waste from the stadium trash disposal and local landfills. The program's success can be partially credited to 550 conveniently placed recycling bins around the stadium, making it easy for fans to recycle when they come to a baseball game. Success is also due in large part to volunteers who collect recyclables during games, and the maintenance staff who separate additional recyclables from the trash after a game.

Shanna,

They do something similar at the Philly games too and make a BIG deal of it before and during all the games.  It was about time w/all the potential recycling opportunities.
