OKALOOSA COUNTY - Many people all across the gulf coast spent the day being environmentally friendly.

Tomorrow is America Recycles Day, but many people got a head start this morning.

People brought in aluminum cans, plastic containers, cardboard boxes, telephone books, and many other recyclable items to help support green awareness.

The Ronald Macdonald House was trying to break a Guinness World Record for the most cans collected in an eight hour period.

"The whole idea is to educate people on the benefits of recycling. For us, we're out here to educate people on the existance of our househole hazardous waste program. We have fliers to give to folks because we not only do it in one day events like this, we collect every week in okaloosa county for all residents."

They also collected household hazardous waste... Such as paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, car batteries and much more.

Today's event was sponsored by the City Of Fort Walton Beach, The Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber Of Commerce, the Ronald Mcdonald House, and the Okaloosa County Recycling office.Recycling In Fort Walton Beach
