Cobb
offering new recycling program at county parks Cobb
County is committed to environmental stewardship and is offering
a new pilot recycling program as another way to keep our county
clean and beautiful. Cobb Solid Waste is partnering with Keep
Cobb Beautiful and Cobb Parks , Recreation and Cultural Affairs
and Waste Management to promote the “Away from Home” program
at county sports facilities. This program for plastic and
aluminum beverage containers is part of the state's Recycle
4 Georgia campaign. Residents
are encouraged to locate and use the yellow and green recycling
bins at five parks throughout Cobb: Wild Horse Creek, Lost
Mountain Park , Al Bishop Park, Harrison Park and Terrell
Mill Park . “People
are more aware of the benefits of recycling, such as saving
natural resources, saving energy and saving our environment,”
Gwen Baldwin, public program coordinator of Keep Cobb Beautiful,
said. “Whether you bring your beverage containers from home
or purchase them at the parks, this program allows you to
easily recycle and help the environment.” Offering
recycling in venues where there is high traffic volume and
consumption of beverages in plastic and aluminum containers
offers park patrons a responsible alternative to littering
or simply throwing a recyclable product away. |
