CCSC offers recycling program
Posted By J.T. on June 8, 2009
The Cass County Sustainability Committee (CCSC) is a volunteer group of Cass County citizens working to provide information to the community and to address ways to promote environmental sustainability in Cass County.
The first step the Cass County Sustainability Committee (CCSC) has taken toward its goal of promoting sustainability in Cass County is a recycling project. This project is a partnership between the CCSC and Town & Country Disposal, Inc. made possible with grant funding provided by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) Solid Waste Management District.
CCSC uses the grant funding to provide educational materials focusing on where, how, and why to recycle in Cass County. These materials will be distributed throughout the community by CCSC.
Town & Country Disposal, Inc. will provide a container each full weekend of every month rotating among these cities: Freeman, Peculiar, Drexel, and Garden City. Many materials will be accepted for recycling in this container. There is no need to separate recyclable items as they will be sorted at Town & Country’s new single-stream recycling facility. Once separated, the recycled items are taken for processing into new products.
The CCSC will work with community leaders, civic organizations, neighborhoods, churches, and schools to provide volunteer monitors at each of the recycling centers.
