Recycling Picture of the Week: Capital Theatre Recycling

This week’s picture comes to us from Loretta Zammarchi in Yakima!
Capitol Theatre patrons will now be able to recycle their programs and intermission beverage containers thanks to the efforts of Rebecca Hawk Elwood, President of the Capitol Theatre’s Backstage, an all volunteer organization dedicated to supporting the Theatre.

Durable, fire safe steel and aluminum containers were purchased to serve as the recycling containers. Local glass artist Carolyn Bowman transformed the bins with elegantly designed recycling signage. The signage reflects the décor and colors of the beautiful Capitol Theatre.

The “designer bins” were presented at a festive October Backstage meeting with Ms. Elwood and friends garbed in full Halloween attire singing to the tune of the Beatles’ hit, “Yesterday, all my garbage was so far away…”

Standing applause for the commitment and efforts of the Capitol Theatre!

(Names of people singing..”Yesterday” from left to right are: Gretchen Eickmeyer, Cristeen Vallicoff, and Rebecca Hawk Elwood)
