joraan plans to keep the recycling center running and growing as long as the people in Rappahannock continue to support it. Hopefully, as the center continues its success, the Board of Supervisors will see that a recycling program can work and is profitable,” June said. She stressed that the S550 alone is not a true indication of the center’s value to the community.
Without recycling, all the cans, glass and bottles accepted at the center would have been left at the county’s overloaded dumpster sites. Then the Supervisors would have needed to spend even more of the county’s tax dollars for trash removal and clean up, she pointed out. ‘‘A county-wide recycling program would not only save Rappahannock money in taxes but would continue to give us all the economic and ecological benefits,” June added.
The recycling effort here is restricted to paper and aluminum because the contractor who owns the trailer in which the materials are stored no longer accepts glass or other metal cans. Anyone who knows of markets for glass and tin is asked to contact June Jordan (675-3709) or Joyce Kramer (675-3420) so that the collection of these items can be reinstated.
Recyclers are also requested to leave their
center.
"We sincerely hope that citizens of Rappahannock will continue to bring their newspapers and aluminum to the recycling center,” June said. “Volunteers are needed to help monitor the site but each individual can help by stacking papers neatly and by removing any trash they may find there.”
