The Weekly Connection Newsletter for City of Phoenix Employees • March 6, 2019

America’s Friendliest Airport® has been named the Best Airport

for Shopping in USA Today’s 10 Best Travel Contest. Earlier this

year, Airport Experience News nominated 15 airports with

stand-out retail programs that provided travelers with a variety

of shopping items both before and after security. From late

December through late January, interested individuals cast

their votes on-line for their favorite airport for shopping. Sky

Harbor came in first among airports across the U.S. Sky Harbor

has a strong retail program with a variety of nationally-

recognized brands as well as local products. In fact, in 2018,

the Airport brought 35 new retail locations to its busiest

terminal, Terminal 4, as well as two new post-security spa

locations, and US Careways Urgent Care, an airport medical

clinic with a doctor on staff and a drug store. The Airport also

received honors for two other retail locations – Bunky Boutique

and AZCentral.com as well as nano-brewery OHSO. For more

Sky Harbor named Best Airport for Shopping

Throughout March, we will celebrate and honor the voices of women throughout history and of women who are making a difference today.

Recycle Madness

Recycle Madness is back in action now through April 5. The Zero Waste team will be randomly sorting each floor’s kitchen recycle and landfill containers. They will be checking to make sure everyone is not only recycling, but recycling right. Winners of Recycle Madness get prizes, bragging rights and of course the highly-coveted Recycle Madness trophy. Check the flyers in your kitchens and spread the word on your floor - you might just be the next recycling champions.

Recycling Tip: Keep lids on plastic bottles. This allows the recycling machinery to capture all the plastic. Any item smaller than 2.5” in diameter will not get captured.
