Reduce Reuse Recycle

We are told reduce-reuse-recycle are great ways to help the environment by keeping material out of the landfill. Individuals can reduce and reuse on their own, but the recycling needs individuals and a larger organization.

On April 24, members of the Big Country Regional Recycling Society (BCRRS) met with Director of Operations for the Big Country Waste Management Commission (BCWMC). It may seem like there is little recycling happening in the Special Areas other than paper and cardboard, however, statistics provided by Big Country Waste Management Commission show that there is still a large amount of recyclables being diverted out of the BCWMC landfill south of Youngstown.

With all of us working together, we can continue to keep these materials out of the landfill, extending its life for many years.
