Owens-Illinois is hosting a $500 competition as part of its GLASS4GOOD program
On World Environment Day, June 5, Owens-Illinois (O-I) will host a friendly competition among its five GLASS4GOOD programs, including the City of Greeley. The community with the most glass recycling selfies posted on Instagram will earn an additional $500 for their charitable partner.
Through a partnership with the city, Greeley’s GLASS4GOOD recycling generates donations for United Way of Weld County. Since its inception, the program has raised $11,144.
How to Participate in the Competition
Residents can recycle their glass on June 5 and post a selfie on Instagram. It can be shared in their Instagram story or feed. Users must tag O-I (@oi_glass) and include Greeley’s designated hashtag: #G4GGreeley.
The winning community will be determined by the number of selfies posted. The $500 donation will be added to the winning community’s second quarter donation. Only posts made on June 5 will be counted, and only one post per user is allowed. By posting, tagging O-I and including the designated hashtag, the user grants O-I permission to use the photo in internal and external communications.
