The Pink Cart Rolls into Select Meijer Stores

September 27, 2010 – 4:46 PM

Mom went to Meijer to buy a Pink Cart!

The bright pink rolling trash cart that has captured the hearts of online shoppers
has gone retail! Yes, you can still get Pink Carts through local haulers, distributors, or purchase a Pink Cart online, but some of you can also simply go to your nearby Meijer and buy a 64-gallon Pink Cart along with a gallon of milk or a couple cans of paint.

The 64-gallon Pink Cart can be found at these Meijer stores.

Meijer now has another product to add to your shopping list. The cheery pink trash cart on wheels, 64-gallon in size, is now sold at these participating Meijer stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio. Look for them in the aisle with other plastic storage containers, displayed like this. You can’t miss them!

Meijer and Pink Cart join with you to raise breast cancer awareness.

Unless you’re a brand-new visitor, you know that for every Pink Cart sold, Cascade Cart Solutions (CCS) donates $5.00 to the American Cancer Society (ACS) to help raise funds to promote breast cancer awareness programs. CCS and the ACS welcome the participation of Meijer in this effort to raise awareness and increase the number of women who catch breast cancer early, helping to stop a disease that affects 1 in 8 women nationally, claiming 41,000 beautiful lives each year.

So roll into Meijer and roll out a Pink Cart!

There could be a Meijer near you that wants to help kick  cancer to the curb! Add a Pink Cart to your shopping list, keeping in mind that they also make a great gift. A 64-gallon Pink Cart, while dainty compared with the 96-gallon rolling Pink Cart distributed by many trash haulers, may still be too big for your trunk. So take a friend with a truck,  suv, van or trailer – and remember, you can buy more than one!

10K on 10-10-10

September 24, 2010 – 3:04 PM

Can we reach 10K by 10-10-10? Please do it for Pink Cart and me!

What’s special about 10-10-10, other than numerical symmetry? It’s the day Cascade Cart Solutions hopes to have 10,000 Facebook friends for Pink Cart! Can we do it? Yes we can, but we need your help!

10-10-10 is also my birthday. Want to get me something very special? Become a Pink Cart fan on Facebook or ask some of your FB friends to become fans. The more people who understand the importance of increasing breast cancer awareness, the faster we’ll get there!

The Pink Cart is doing its part to help women celebrate More Birthdays!

OK, now you know October 10th is my birthday and you know what I want. I feel blessed to have another, but as many as 41,000 women won’t have another birthday this year. That’s how many mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts and friends die each year from breast cancer. That’s why the the American Cancer Society (ACS), The Official Sponsor of Birthdays, works tirelessly to raise funds and awareness to create a world with More Birthdays! And that’s why Cascade Cart Solutions (CCS) is donating $5.00 from the purchase of every Pink Cart to the ACS to fund breast cancer awareness efforts.

What will you do for Pink Cart on October 10, 2010?

Here’s your list of suggestions:
• Buy a Pink Cart from a local retailer.
• Find a local trash hauler that supports Pink Cart.
• Buy a Pink Cart online. It’s easy!
• Become a fan of Pink Cart on Facebook
• See how people across the nation – and soon Canada – are using their Pink Carts.
• Under no circumstances ask to know how old I am ;-)

Will one more Pink Cart really make a difference?

Absolutely! In fact, over 10,000 other people have asked the same question – that’s how many we’ve sold in nearly 30 states thus far, thanks to trash haulers, retailers, and, most importantly, people like you! Thank you so much for your support – it means the world to me and everyone at Cascade Cart Solutions and the American Cancer Society!

Cascade Engineering offers Pink Waste and Recycling Carts for Breast Cancer Awareness

March 4, 2010 – 4:31 PM

Cascade Engineering today announced the launch of the Pink Cart, a new program developed in collaboration with the American Cancer Society (ACS) that will enable households and businesses nationwide to make an important and visible demonstration of their support for the fight against breast cancer.

The signature piece of the initiative is Cascade’s new, brightly colored waste and recycling cart, made from pink plastic and available in 35-, 64- and 96-gallon sizes. Under the terms of the Company’s exclusive licensing agreement with ACS, $5 from the purchase of each Pink Cart will go toward supporting ACS’ breast cancer awareness programs. Cascade plans to offer the program through arrangements with waste haulers and local municipalities, as well as directly to residential and commercial customers at www.pinkcart.com.

“The Pink Cart is poised to transform America’s curbside palette, providing an innovative way to get involved in raising awareness about a disease that continues to take an enormous toll on women’s health,” said Jo-Anne Perkins, General Manager of the Company’s Cascade Cart Solutions business unit.

“In addition to reflecting Cascade’s longstanding corporate focus on making a positive social and environmental impact, the Pink Cart program is about a cause that is close to the hearts of many on the Cascade team. That connection has served as a powerful motivation as we developed this new opportunity for people to participate in the fight against breast cancer, highlight their own experience with the disease and encourage others to join in the cause.”

Cascade’s pink waste and recycling cart evokes ACS’ powerful pink ribbon symbol, which is widely recognized as a way to honor breast cancer survivors, remember those lost to the disease and support the progress made in defeating breast cancer. In 2009, more than 190,000 women learned they have breast cancer, and more than 40,000 died from the disease.

The Pink Cart program is the latest innovation by Cascade Cart Solutions, a solid waste and recycling industry leader that has developed and manufactured millions of injection molded solid waste and recycling carts for use in residential and commercial applications. Because Cascade places great emphasis on environmental awareness, all of its solid waste and recycling products are 100% recyclable. The Company is the developer of the EcoCart™, an eco-friendly collection cart that utilizes the highest post-consumer recycled content in the industry and can incorporate “smart” asset management capabilities through the addition of a barcode or RFID tag.
