The Charlotte City Council is considering an unusual recycling program in partnership with Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated.

Put a Coca-Cola sticker on your recycling bin next year, make sure you follow city recycling rules, and you could win $50.


At first I did not like this idea, but after thinking it over, it is worth a try to encourage folks to recycle.
