Keeping Recyclables Out of Local Landfills

Part of the mission of the Regional Recycling District in Pulaski County is to protect the public health and sustain our shared environment. Maybe it should have said, “to protect the public health by sustaining our shared environment.” Either way, recycling and your participation in curbside recycling programs provide a common advantage and benefit to our everyday quality of life. We probably don’t need to worry about saving the world. What we should pay attention to, however, is keeping recyclable materials out of local landfills and providing them back to manufacturers as raw materials for brand-new products. Doing recycling right helps make the whole process work. For more information on what to put in your curbside recycling cart, go to MyDoRight.com.
