Santa Rosa Island Authority to Place Recycling Bins on Pensacola Beach Pensacola Beach, Fl – April 30, 2013 – The Santa Rosa Island Authority will be installing recycling bins at various locations on Pensacola Beach.

Providing a recycling bin helps communities overcome that barrier,” said Matthew M. McKenna, president and CEO, Keep America Beautiful. “We are truly grateful for Coca-Cola’s support and commitment to recycling, and for its support and commitment of the Bin Grant Program.” The Santa Rosa Island Authority was one of 156 local government, schools, colleges and other community groups nation-wide to receive a grant.
