Walton County Considering Recycling Program

[j p nettles]

I try to recycle when possible. It's a shame for people not to do so but it takes cooperation from all residents for it to work. I separate everything but when I take my stuff to the recycle bin, people have dumped non-recyclable garbage in and mixed it all up. I used to sell my aluminum cans but I quit because it's hard to find somebody to buy scrap aluminum, so I just take it to the recycle dumpster.

We use the recycling bins at either Rosemary Beach or the Inlet Beach fire station. Both still take glass. I go to Publix at least once a week and just load up the car and make a stop. While I think a recycling program that was more convenient would be nice, I'm not sure how many would use it.

Thanks for the info on the Rosemary and Inlet Beach bins. I have a ton of glass that I'd love to recycle!

Bottom line. How much would this cost "We the Taxpayer. "

It is frustrating moving here from a place that you can be fined for not recycling... I inquired with the county about recycling my cardboard and glass since the recycling trailers don't Accept either material and was told to drive to Defuniak with
my cardboard, and that we dot recycle glass, so I should just put that in my trash can. Is there a private recycling center anywhere that might accept these materials?

He has stepped up to the curbside recycling plate. And I agree, curbside recycling has become as commonplace as curbside trash pickup in many communities.

The City of Tallahassee has operated a very successful program for many years, Walton County should take a look at it.

Please define success and tell how much it cost.

Where are the Rosemary bins?

Blu binz rocks! Amazing that a motivated person can make it work, but the county can't - even with all the money we pay for garbage pickup!

How much do you pay for garbage pickup?
