ADEQ and Arizona Cardinals Team Up for Recycling

PHOENIX (August 27, 2007) - Arizona Department of Environmental Quality
(ADEQ) Director Steve Owens announced today that ADEQ and the Arizona
Cardinals have teamed up for a second straight year to conduct a highly
successful recycling program for all Cardinals home games at University
of Phoenix Stadium this season.

"We are pleased to team up with the Arizona Cardinals to provide
recycling at all Cardinals home games and encourage Cardinals fans to
recycle both at the games and at home," ADEQ Director Steve Owens said.
"Big Red is going green."  

During Cardinal games this season, recycling bins will be placed
throughout the main concourse at the stadium. The number of recycling
receptacles and bags also has been increased on the Great Lawn outside
the stadium. 

Cardinals game publications, broadcast ads and the team's email alerts
will provide information about recycling and encourage Cardinals fans to
recycle.  A 30-second spot also will appear on quarterback Matt
Leinart's weekly radio show.

Plastic recycling bags will be distributed to tailgaters and others
outside the stadium to help them dispose of plastics, glass, cardboard
and paper in an environmentally sensitive manner. Each entrance to the
stadium plaza will have recycling containers with Cardinals logos on
them.

A total of 33 recycling containers for bottles will be placed on the
main level, 28 on the terrace level and eight on the club level at the
stadium. Recyclable items also can be dropped in counter top disposal
areas in each loft of the stadium.
