Reno - Albertson's Recycling Initiative
Albertson's / Save Mart (same store, soon to be Save Mart) is about as Burner-friendly a place as they come, stocking up on the items we want. They are also going green for this year's burn and hopefully beyond.
This year, Albertson's stores in Reno, Spark and Carson City are stocking up on lots and lots of water, including 2.5 and 5 gallon jugs! They will be carrying 35 and 55-gallong barrels, with spigots and pumps. Other specialty products will be located inside the store, including dry ice, tiki torches, medium-sized propane tanks, small disposable propane tanks and stoves, bicycle tubes and lighting, large brim hats, vegetarian and vegan sandwich fillers (such as tofurky, tofudogs, and boca burgers), energy, granola, and Odwalla bars, Gatorade, energy and protein powders, reusable cups and other kitchenware and storage containers, and coolers.
Sharing in the Green Man theme, they are also carrying Cool Neon el-wire ready-kits, crank flashlights, solar lanterns, solar chargers, rechargeable batteries, bio toilets, bio bags, biodegradable kitchenware, hemp rope, and 7th Generation bathroom-wares. And lots of different kinds of beer in cans!
Lastly, most Albertson / Save Marts in town will be operating a DRIVE-THRU RECYCLING CENTER in the parking lot for this year's event! A free, multi-community project to promote recycling, this hopefully multi-year initiative is designed for your convenience, with no strings attached - just please have your recyclables clean as possible, and NO garbage dumping. Bicycles, plastics (HDPE 1,2,4&5), plastic bags, glass, all metals (aluminum, tin, lead, steel, etc), paper, cardboard, and rechargeable batteries are all welcome. All proceeds raised from this recycling initiative will be donated to support environmental initiatives and education through the Gerlach High School. The recycling center will be open 24/7 throughout the event until September 5. No worries, they are set up for maximum capacity!
