A-B Recycling League Diverts 275 Tons from Landfills

The National Recycling League, an Anheuser-Busch sponsored coalition of Major League Baseball teams, has collectively diverted some 275 tons – more than the weight of the Statue of Liberty – of recyclables from landfills and increased in-stadium recycling by 15% among participating teams, A-B announced.  

As part of the National Recycling League, select teams competed head-to-head to see which fans could recycle the most. The winners were San Diego Padres fans who successfully diverted over 98 tons of recyclables from Opening day to the end of May. San Diego fans can get a free round from Anheuser Busch. Fans of the Arizona Diamondbacks took second place, coming in right behind with 97 tons of recyclables.
