To mark America Recycles Day 2010, various committee members for Vera Bradley took the opportunity to revisit and revamp our existing building recycling practices. This morning, employees were encouraged to sign a petition to be more eco-conscious and entered to win an adorable Twirly Birds Pink shopper tote (bonus!).

A brief run through of the trio of new receptacles and the single-sort recycling program included the announcement that additional paper collection boxes will arrive next week. An added incentive, all of the proceeds from our aluminum can collection will go to Habitat for Humanity.

After the remodeled recycling system tutorial, we were each given a can of soda or bottle of juice to kickoff our pledge. Dropping our empty containers into the brand new bins was an initial deposit toward a cleaner, greener Vera Bradley.
