The Choctaw Indian Nation in southeast Oklahoma is placing a renewed emphasis on recycling, thanks to the donation of recycling bins from Alcoa.  Alcoa donated 300 bins last year that have been used in community centers throughout the 10½ counties that comprise the Choctaw Indian Nation. 

Alcoa will provide up to 500 more bins this year to expand the recycling effort into the homes of tribe members.

Tribal leaders say the recycling effort is generating significant income to support programs for seniors.
