Love the Boot
Recycling
During Love the Boot Week, Coca-Cola partnered with Keep Louisiana Beautiful to spearhead the recycling of plastic bottles and aluminum cans for litter cleanup events in select parishes. This effort, facilitated by Osprey Initiative, lead to thousands of bottles and cans being diverted from the landfill.
Coca-Cola is a proud sponsor of Love the Boot. Our bottles and cans can live many lives. Your participation in efforts like this to collect and recycle are fundamental to that process.
