Crown Kick Out The Can success
Staff at seven Crown Decorating Centres across the UK are celebrating the success of a major recycling scheme after being named as regional ‘champions’.
Earlier this year Crown Decorating Centres launched the ‘Kick Out The Can’ initiative, encouraging customers to clear out garages, sheds and cupboards and return unwanted paint to the network of more than 130 stores in the UK. More than 8,600 containers of unwanted paint were returned.
The unwanted paint collected at Crown Decorating Centres was then sent for re-processing and recycling by social enterprise Nimtech ahead of being distributed to community projects around the country in partnership with regeneration charity, Newground.
One store from each Crown Decorating Centre region has now been ‘crowned’ Kick Out The Can Champion for team members’ efforts in supporting the campaign and each has been presented with a commemorative certificate to mark their achievements.
Paula Taylor, Marketing Manager for Crown Decorating Centres, said: “We are delighted that our team members have given their full support to the Kick Out The Can initiative.
