Tracy O’Drain, managing director of the Frankford Community Development Corporation, said 30 people signed up for the city’s Recycling Rewards program during the cleanup in Frankford and almost 150 recycling bins were distributed. She said she and Michelle Feldman, the CDC’s commercial corridor manager,  gave out coffee and doughnuts courtesy of Dunkin’ Donuts, pretzels courtesy of state Rep. Tony Payton Jr. (D-179th dist.), and 50 T-shirts and 75 reusable shopping bags compliments of the CDC.

O’Drain said the CDC still has about 300 recycling bins currently stored in the organization’s headquarters at 4900 Griscom St. Those bins can be picked up from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, but O’Drain said she often is out of the office, so anyone who wants a bin should call first at 215-743-6580.

It’s one bin per household, O’Drain added, but block captains may make arrangements to get more.
