The City hosted its first ever zero-waste collection drive today. Dozens of Tucsonans came to drop off their unused household items.
“It really is that motto of we all don’t have to be perfect at recycling, but if all of us try a little harder, it makes a difference,” said Linda Kirk, Vice President of Tucson Verde.“I think I'm just passionate about it because the desert’s beautiful, it has so much biodiversity and we’re the caretakers for the next generation.”
When Kirk and other Tucsonans heard that the City organized its first zero-waste collection drive, they saw it as a necessary step forward.“The fact that this is the first one, I applaud that," said Marcus Miller, Tucson resident."I think it’s wonderful and I hope there’s a hundred more because we need that here.”
The city partnered with various charities and local organizations to put on the drive through event. Drivers dropped off used home goods, clothes, electronics, scrap metal, or medications.“Vacuum cleaner that just wasnt as awesome as it used to be and a curling iron that went caput,” Kirk said.
