Artistic recycling bins for downtown streets

A large crowd gathered yesterday at Lescano Gallery in Great Barrington to see the artistic recycling bins designed by area artists. The bins will be moved onto the streets in the downtown today. Darren Vanden Berge / Berkshire Eagle Staff.

From "The Art of Recycling" in the Berkshire Eagle and it's a good example of looking at everything you (your city, your commercial district revitalization organization, community organization, etc.) do through the lens of multiple objectives, and working to achieve multiple objectives simultaneously.

With a single project, the City of Great Barrington Massachusetts successfully promotes:

-- the environment;
-- cleaner streets;
-- recycling;
-- public art; and
-- opportunities for local artists.
