In addition, the companies will organise in-store events to endorse the retailer’s recycling programmes in Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions stores in Southern California as well as Safeway, ACME, Kings Food Markets and Balducci’s Food Lover’s Market stores in the north-east.
Customers can drop off packaging with the How2Recycle Store Drop-off label, including Kellogg-branded foods at bins installed across participating stores.
