The Dream Machine® Recycling Initiative, introduced on Earth Day 2010, will make thousands of new recycling receptacles available in popular, highly-trafficked locations such as gas stations, retail stores, sports stadiums, and public parks. Dream Machines come in two forms - intelligent kiosks and traditional, static bins - where people can deposit plastic and aluminum beverage containers. As you can imagine, rolling out a national initiative of this size takes time - so if there is not a bin or kiosk in your community right now, please check back from time to time. And, please visit us at www.facebook.com/DreamMachine to learn about the latest program updates and new locations.

The Dream Machine program is designed around PepsiCo's goal of increasing the U.S. beverage container recycling rate from 34 percent to 50 percent by 2018. The program enables the local capture and recycling of PET and aluminum, using both technology enabled and non-technology enabled recycling kiosks. The Dream Machines are provided and managed by PepsiCo.

To encourage Americans to make a greater commitment to recycling, each time you recycle in a Dream Machine, the more support PepsiCo will provide to the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV). This nonprofit organization offers post-9/11 disabled U.S. veterans free education and experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management. Each time you recycle with the Dream Machine program, you are not only being kind to the environment, but you are taking action to help support a disabled U.S. veteran.
