Are You a Vendor Interested in Getting Involved? 

We are inviting local vendors to participate in this year’s Kids Day. Each vendor/organization will have the opportunity to discuss and demonstrate specifically what they are doing to protect the environment through an interactive activity. During the event, the public is encouraged to bring any unused items that CHaRM accepts from home, work and/or school to recycle at the event. Leading up to the event, we work with local schools to get students involved in contests and additional educational opportunities. If you are interested in getting your company/group involved for an interactive booth activity on Kids Day, sign up below.

Plastic Bottle Collection Contest for Local Schools Sponsored by Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, Inc.

Live Thrive is holding a plastic bottle collection contest for schools in the Metro Atlanta area. Teachers can sign their individual class or entire school up to collect plastic bottles for a 2-week period to be dropped off and recycled at CHaRM.
