In celebration of America Recycles Day, Cox Enterprises is proud to announce seven of its locations have achieved zero waste to landfill status. Cox Conserves, the company's national sustainability program, focuses on waste management and carbon and water conservation. The program engages each of the company's major divisions: Cox Communications, Cox Automotive and Cox Media Group.

"Through Cox Conserves, we are committed to making a positive impact on the environment," said Cox Enterprises Senior Vice President Lacey Lewis, who oversees the company's sustainability operations. "This means finding every possible way to recycle, reuse and repurpose materials at our locations. I'm extremely proud that each of our major divisions has a zero waste to landfill location."

As a diversified company, Cox Enterprises operates a wide variety of facilities, including traditional office buildings, call centers, printing locations, broadcast studios, wholesale automotive auctions and retail locations.

Cox Enterprises' zero waste to landfill locations include:

Cox Communications in Harahan, Louisiana (Edwards Ave. location)

Cox Communications in Phoenix, Ariz. (West Watkins Dr. location)

Cox Media Group's Print Technology Center in Franklin, Ohio

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's N. Fulton Distribution Center in Alpharetta, Ga.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Printing Facility in Norcross, Ga.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Stone Mountain Distribution Center in Stone Mountain, Ga.

Xtime's Headquarters in Redwood City, Calif.

Across the nation, Cox has identified ways to support its award-winning waste management program. In Arizona, Cox Communications implemented Project TWIG to sell its used materials and donate the funds to local youth-focused nonprofits. Cox's corporate campus in Atlanta features a waste reduction system that repurposes food and paper products from the dining facility into a soil amendment, which is used for landscaping to improve plant growth.

Earlier this year, Cox announced it is constructing the Golden Isles Conservation Center in Nahunta, Ga. The facility will remove tires from the waste stream, repurpose them and generate clean energy.

Through partnerships with American Rivers and Ocean Conservancy, Cox employees have removed more than 25 tons of waste during ocean and river cleanups in the District of Columbia, Calif., Fl., Ga., Ohio, Okla. and Wash. Cox employees also participate in e-waste collections at its locations across the nation.
