ABOUT THE #BINfluencers
The #BINfluencers are a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering a sustainable community through landfill diversion.
We bring private and public stakeholders together to support a more circular economy and prevent our landfills from filling up.
The #BINfluencer Education Campaign
Millennium Recycling, Inc. 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!
