McCreary
County
Recycling Program |
McCreary County's Recycling
Program has officially been launched! In 2011, county leaders were
awarded a $75,000 recycling grant from the state to purchase
equipment, conduct community educational programs and fully
implement a basic recycling program. Balers, a fork lift and
recycling trailers have already been purchased and are in place to
start the effort.
Calling All Individuals &
Businesses!
The McCreary County Fiscal Court, 109 Solid Waste Board and
Recycling Center are seeking all interested individuals, offices and
businesses to partner with our local recycling effort. Whether you
can commit to recycling on a grand level or just start small...we
want your support!
