Snyder, Texas – In celebration of Texas Recycles Day, Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB) is thrilled to award a 2024 Texas Recycles Day Grant to Keep Snyder Beautiful! Thanks to generous funding from Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages, an Arca-Continental company, this grant is part of a $60,000 fund shared among eight communities across Texas. It will help boost and enhance Snyder’s recycling programs, making a powerful impact on local sustainability efforts.
To assist with implementing their project, Snyder has received $10,000 to begin and support their proposed community project. Keep Snyder Beautiful will complete their project by June 2025.
Keep Snyder Beautiful plans to enhance recycling efforts in the community by providing recycling roll-off containers for a hands-on program with the Snyder STEAM Team, introducing mobile recycling stations with community roll-offs, and launching a public campaign to encourage participation.
“These initiatives will not only make recycling more accessible but will also empower our youth and residents to take an active role in sustainability,” said Eli Torres, City Manager and Keep Snyder Beautiful committee member. “With the support of the Texas Recycles Day Grant, we’re excited to strengthen our community’s commitment to keeping Snyder beautiful and sustainable.”
In addition to Snyder, the affiliate communities of Coppell, Dickinson, La Marque, Mission, Plainview, Real County, and Victoria also received a 2024 Texas Recycles Day Grant.
“We’re incredibly appreciative of Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages’ commitment to recycling initiatives across Texas,” says Suzanne Kho, Executive Director of KTB. “Their support strengthens local programs and empowers our communities to make a real difference in sustainability efforts statewide. We’re excited to see the positive impact these community projects will bring!”
