Columbus, Ohio, is looking for agency help for an expected two-year contract for recycling PR with an RFP process open through mid-September.
The city of 787,000 residents issued the RFP Aug. 30 as it plans a new recycling program with a goal of boosting its landfill garbage diversion from 14.5% now to 35% by 2015. The new program starts early next year and the city wants a firm to develop a public education and marketing effort starting in December.
The non-profit Curbside Value Partnership is assisting the city with outreach and design.
The PR effort will be under the Department of Public Service’s communications office and the Mayor’s Office of Environmental Stewardship. The work will include programming for the city’s government cable channel, PSAs, website and social media, PR outreach and brochures, among other tasks.
Budget is set at $330K.
