Well fair citizens of Greenville. . . Alas, our Doty Bin situation reached a critical point, and we have officially been banned from the Montgomery County Recycling Facility in Hillsboro, IL. The cause cited was that of contamination coupled with the sinking prices of recyclables. The facility could no longer pay their employees more time to sort through our contaminated bins. :(
I can't say that I blame them either. We've all seen the state of things down there and it isn't pretty! Clearly, education is a key factor in this recycling game, and we need to work harder at getting the word out about proper recycling.
Although this feels like yet another major blow to our efforts, it doesn't mean that you can quit! I don't want to hear anything about quitting, right? Right!
We must continue to recycle, because it's just the right thing to do. There are many other places that you can take your stuff depending on where you are headed. We all make trips around our county, and all you have to do is bring your stuff along.
Please check out my "where to recycle" link at the top of the page for all your recycling options. They are many.
In the meantime, lets roll up our sleeves and get to work. Come to our Greenville Recycling Association meeting on Tuesday, May 26, 7:30 pm at the Bond Co. Courthouse. We need to take advantage of this time of crisis and change and make the City Counsel aware that we want recycling and we want it bad! :')
Change and growth often come after crisis points. Don't give up and don't get frustrated, and if you do, turn it into change by taking action.
See you at the Courthouse!!!!
