Recycle Track Systems (RTS), New York, has entered into a partnership with FedExField, Landover, Maryland, and the National Football League’s Washington Redskins as their exclusive waste management services provider.
An average 75 tons of trash and recyclables can be found at FedExField on a Redskins game day, FedExField reports. Through this partnership,
RTS will work to improve recycling rates to keep as much waste out of landfills as possible, coupled with community engagement and sponsorship activities, RTS reports in a news release on the partnership.
“We are ecstatic to partner with FedExField and the Washington Redskins as they work to increase their sustainability practices,” says Greg Lettieri, CEO of RTS.
“Contending with many different types of waste, major sports organizations face extreme challenges as they work to find proper trash and recycling solutions.
We will use our experiences with other stadiums and our technology-focused approach to operations, sustainability and transparency to meet these challenges head on.”
RTS will also support FedExField and the Redskins through sponsorship activities, including fan engagement through an educational recycling awareness video,
branding on waste receptacles and in-stadium signage as well as community service initiatives such as a community clean-up day. A community clean-up day is slated to occur sometime in the spring of 2020,
RTS reports in a news release on the partnership.
“The Washington Redskins are committed to increasing our sustainability and recycling efforts at FedExField and throughout the organization,” says Chris Bloyer,
senior vice president of operations and guest experience for the Washington Redskins.
“Reducing our impact on landfills and working to increase recycling is a natural complement to our current suite of environmentally responsible initiatives.”
RTS combines technology with high-touch service to make waste disposal easier. It offers on-demand removal and integrated waste management solutions.
The company also manages services at other premier sports facilities, including Citi Field, Queens, New York; Nationals Park, Washington;
Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York; Audi Field, Washington; and Talen Energy Stadium, Chester, Pennsylvania.
