About BINfluencer
BINfluencer is dedicated to creating a sustainable future and a more circular economy by reducing landfill waste in Sioux Falls and the surrounding region.
We partner with public and private organizations to identify barriers, develop solutions, and provide comprehensive education that influences the community to reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink waste.
The #BINfluencer Education Campaign
Our current sponsor, Millennium Recycling, is leading the effort to improve participation in local recycling and waste diversion, in the bin and beyond!
You’ll see their billboards, TV, and social media ads around the community, encouraging you to be a #BINfluencer.
Across the nation, diversion goals are being set at 50% or higher, but the Sioux Falls rate is only 20.5%.
Join the #BINfluencers and Millennium Recycling, Inc. to improve this rate!
