KTSCB encourages all citizens to practice
waste
reduction and waste recycling as a way of
life. Recycle plastics,
paper, cardboard, aluminum, metal, glass,
batteries, compact
fluorescent light bulbs, oil, computer
parts, and many other items.
Shop with reusable grocery bags, buy items
that are in recyclable
containers, reuse containers where
possible, use tap water in your own
bottle--LIVE RESPONSIBLY!
The National Recycling Coalition gives 10
good
reasons to recycle:
- Good for our Economy
- Creates Jobs
- Reduces Waste
- Good for the Environment
- Saves Energy
- Preserves Landfill Space
- Reduces Global Warming
- Reduces Water Pollution
- Protects Wildlife
- Creates New Demand
Be responsible and visit one of the
County's
Convenience Centers or the City's
twenty-four hour facility in front of
the fire department on Fernside Drive to
dispose of recyclables. For
the location and current schedule of
operation of the County
Convenience Centers see the list below or
