CURB SIDE PICK UP FOR CLARKSVILLE

WHY CURB SIDE?

Save Time on Trips to the Dump

Over 80% of household trash is recyclable. As a result most people who recycle see a major reduction in the amount of trash that ends up in their trash cans. This reduction allows them to scale back from weekly trips to the dump to bi-monthly and sometimes even once a month.

Contribute to Funding Public Education

In cooperation with the Montgomery County School System and the Bi-County Solid Waste Department, Recycle Clarksville is helping to create better schools by transferring some of the collected paper and cardboard to the recycling dumpsters placed behind various public schools. These items are then picked up by the county and sold to private vendors. 50% of the revenue generated from the sale of these recyclables is in turn given right back to the respective school they were collected from.

Save Landfill Space

Recycling diverts solid waste from the Bi-County landfill, creating more space for non-recyclable items and a more secure future for our landfill needs.

Play a Part in Protecting the Environment

When you choose to recycle you are having an immediate, tangible effect on the local, regional, national and global environment.Recycling prevents the emission of many greenhouse gases and water pollutants, saves energy, supplies valuable raw materials to industry, creates jobs, stimulates the development of greener technologies, conserves resources for our children’s future, and reduces the need for new landfills and combustors.
