FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15
THE PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION INCLUDES A RECOMMENDATION THAT IS PROPOSED BY THE PRESIDENT AND THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER. THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE REVIEWED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EITHER APPROVED OR REVISED. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REVIEWS COMPARABLE DATA ON OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE TRI-STATE AREA. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN IN FEBRUARY 2014. AT THAT TIME, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE APPROVED THE RECOMMENDED SALARY INCREASES THAT THE PRESIDENT PROPOSED FOR KEY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES. The former President & CEO declined salary increases in each year of his term.

Game Day Challenge: Encouraging collegiate recycling events during the 2013 collegiate football season, more than 85 schools across the nation took on the challenge to collect cans and bottles, cardboard, food scraps and more from the tailgate areas, stadium seating and concessions during at least one home game. Schools measured and reported their results along with game attendance for ranking in five categories. The winners of the 2013 Game Day Recycling Challenge were: * Waste Minimization Champion (least amount of waste generated per attendee) - Central Connecticut State University * Diversion Rate Champion (greatest combined recycling and composting rate)-Ohio State University * Greenhouse Gas Reduction Champion (greenhouse gas emissions prevented by diverting waste) - Franklin College * Recycling Champion (greatest recycling per attendee) - Franklin College * Organics Reduction Champion (greatest organics recovery per attendee) - University of Akron More than just a competition, Game Day Challenge was an opportunity for participating schools to demonstrate to students and team supporters that recycling and reducing waste are not activities limited to the home or office. Many participating schools deployed teams of volunteers to collect cans and bottles from pre-game tailgaters. Other schools engaged their mascots, set up zero-waste stations inside the stadiums to collect food scraps and more, or arranged for special recycling messages to be announced during the game. Still others used the opportunity to celebrate and raise awareness of America Recycles Day, which takes place on Nov. 15. Encouraging collegiate sporting events can save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. During this year's competition, 6.4 million fans at 88 participating schools kept nearly 1.5 million pounds of game-day waste out of landfills, which prevented approximately 1,980 metric tons of carbon dioxide from being released. That's equivalent to removing 413 cars from the road for a year. The 2013 Game Day Challenge was administered by the College & University Recycling Coalition (CURC), Keep America Beautiful and RecycleMania, Inc., with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Recycling @ Work: Just one year after Recycling @ Work launched, nearly 550 pledge partners have committed to increase recycling at their businesses, schools, universities and government entities. Part of Keep America Beautiful's joint Clinton Global Initiative with Alcoa Foundation, the Recycling @ Work program focuses on providing practical tools, resources, and best practices techniques to support office green teams in engaging with their colleagues to recycle more. To simplify the process, the Recycling @ Work website includes a 10-step action plan to help pledge partners plan their approach. Recycling at Work's pledge campaign objectives include: * Increase awareness and commitment level among businesses, government and institutional workplaces to increase recycling over two years for common office generated recyclables (e.g. paper, cardboard, beverage containers, batteries, electronics, and, optionally, food waste) * Engage employees to recycle more at work * Demonstrate support and momentum among the business community for increasing recycling at work * Report the results of the combined efforts, including the economic, environmental and social benefits of recycling at work Development of the program in 2014 will include a monthly e-newsletter and quarterly webinars for all pledge partners as well as other enhanced online resources, including an interactive Recycling Mythbusters presentation and a tool for making custom recycling bin signs. Furthermore, KAB will be working with its network to invite businesses and organizations across the country to become pledge partners. Keep America Beautiful will compile data and issue a comprehensive report in 2015, fulfilling its 2012 Clinton Global Initiative commitment made in partnership with Alcoa and the Alcoa Foundation. The Recycling @ Work Pledge initiative is sponsored by the Alcoa Foundation, Microsoft and PepsiCo Recycling. Recycling at State Fairs: As part of its "Action to Accelerate Recycling" Clinton Global Initiative commitment, Keep America Beautiful (KAB) partnered with one state fair and two county fairs to identify specific measures to enhance recycling at the special events. Keep America Beautiful worked with the Indiana State Fair; the Kitsap (Wash.) County Fair; and the Arlington (Va.) County Fair on this pilot program. In addition to providing funds to enhance recycling infrastructure, KAB staff provided expert programmatic support to plan and implement enhanced recycling and composting at each of the fairs. In addition, KAB conducted one aspect of behavior-change research per fair. The program focused on addressing a host of issues, including placing recycling bins next to trash bins, improving recycling bin signage, engaging vendors in the initiative, and honing the communication to all fair participants. The effort reached more than 1 million fair-goers, with a total of 75 tons being recycled or composted, an increase of 14 percent over previous results. A host of tools, templates and operating manuals have been developed for each of the participating fairs, and are being offered to other special event recycling coordinators. These materials can be found at americarecyclesday.org/recyclingatfairs. The Recycling at Fairs initiative was made possible by an Alcoa Foundation grant and is part of a commitment the two organizations have with the Clinton Global Initiative. Dr Pepper Snapple/KAB Public Park Recycling Bin Grant Program: In its first year, the Dr Pepper Snapple/KAB Public Park Recycling Bin Grant awarded 710 durable, permanent recycling bins to 33 local and state governments. Focusing on increasing recycling in city, regional and state public parks across the country, the DPS/KAB Public Park Recycling Bin Grant was designed to establish or expand recycling opportunities in different settings in neighborhood parks with playgrounds, athletic fields, and regional parks with trails and natural settings. As a result of this bin program, the newly-installed recycling bins will make recycling much more convenient for nearly 50,000 public park visitors on a daily basis. Give and Go: Move Out! Nearly 3 million students live in on-campus housing at 2,100 colleges and universities across the U.S. Vacating the dorms for summer presents students with a challenge when they are left with excess goods. Keep America Beautiful (KAB) and Goodwill's 2013 five-campus "Give and Go: Move Out" pilot program empowered students to donate responsibly and recognize their social impact, by collecting items for re-use and recycling. The result: 60,000 pounds of items were donated to Goodwill and local food banks. During the traditional spring move-out week, KAB and Goodwill encouraged and enabled students to recapture the value of their unwanted clothing and goods, books, electronics, non-perishable foods, and dorm room items as they left campus for summer break.Through pre-promotion efforts, clear signage, convenient drop-off locations, volunteer engagement, and careful planning, schools greatly reduced move-out waste. The results of the pilot collection events are being documented in a report, which will serve as tool for additional schools to use as a model in future years. During the 2013 pilot, a reported 60,185 pounds of materials were collected with donations translating to more than 1,750 hours of Goodwill job training services. The program has been expanded to include 15 schools for the 2013/2014 school year. "Give and Go" is a Clinton Global Initiative University commitment KAB made to increase recycling on college campuses. The program is a partnership between KAB and Goodwill Industries International with program support from the College and University Recycling Coalition.
