CINCINNATI - This August, Keep Cincinnati Beautiful will host a recycling drive to provide supplies and uniforms for children going back to school in the fall. KCB will collect the gently used or new materials alongside the monthly mixed paper drive as part of the "Beyond the Recycling Bin" program. The "Beyond the Bin" campaign concentrates on collecting mixed paper and different reusable items throughout the year in an attempt to encourage citywide recycling.

On Saturday, August 3rd from 9:00 a.m. to noon, KCB will join forces with Crayons to Computers to do its part in preparing Cincinnati children for their return to school. The donated items will take the load off of many families who struggle with returning to school without adequate supplies.

The back-to-school recycling drive will take place at two different locations. In addition to the supplies and uniforms, volunteers will unload mixed paper products such as cardboard, cereal boxes (without the plastic bag liner), beverage cases, junk mail, magazines, office paper and newspaper. The items can be dropped off at:

Western Hills Plaza	College Hill
Behind Kroger, near Schwartze Ave.	Kroger
6150 Glenway Avenue	1606 W. North Bend Road
