Published 11 years ago | About a 3 minute read

SCOTTSDALE, AZ – (June 11, 2013) – Vertigent, the data technology partner for creating unique consumer engagement opportunities through recycling intelligence, is offering a new Government Communications Toolkit to help municipalities implement digital-age communications with residents about recycling. Vertigent, the client solutions division of Earth911, Inc., an Infinity Resources Holdings company (OTC: IRHC), was recently launched to focus on the needs of local governments, consumer products companies, manufacturers and retailers to create impactful outreach to consumers about recycling. “In talking to cities from east to west, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Cities have been looking to make a transition to digital communications but haven’t found a solution that will engage citizens on a multitude of platforms,” said Sandra Lewis, VP of Government Relations & Industry Affairs. “I’m grateful to have Preston Read come on board to help unroll this toolkit to every city that is ready to transition away from printed materials to digital messaging.” Read, formerly Senior Vice President, Government Affairs, for Recyclebank, joined the company’s advisory board in May. The Vertigent Government Communications Toolkit is designed to give cities flexibility to create a program that will address waste diversion goals and maximize the dollars spent on communication with residents. “Cities and counties are ready and willing to ramp up communication with people about where, when and how to take advantage of recycling and proper disposal opportunities and make significant progress on their landfill diversion goals,” said Corey Lambrecht, Earth911, Inc. president and COO. Paired with Vertigent’s unique recycling directory, a vital data set of local recycling and proper disposal opportunities for 360 materials across every US ZIP code, governments can reach constituents on any digital platform with location-based recycling program information. The communications toolkit includes a Vertigent Recycling Locator iframe, SMS/Email communication platform, mobile website, native mobile app for iOS and Android and the bilingual 1-800-CLEANUP® environmental hotline as methods of communication. The service is available on a subscription basis for a 10-month starter program.
