Join Keep Blount Beautiful for a tour of the Blount County Recycling Center, including Household Recycling, Household Hazardous Waste, and the Glass Recycling Program. Keep Blount Beautiful and the Blount County Highway Department will take participants on a tour of Blount County's recycling facilities and operations to better understand the importance of recycling, how to recycle, and what happens to your waste. This event is open to the public. Sign up and learn more here.
This event is an educational component of the Glass Waste Diversion Program, an initiative to make better use of glass waste created at local restaurants and bars that would normally end up in the landfill. Through this program, KBB provides the missing link between participating restaurants and the Blount County Recycling Center where glass is pulverized and used in local projects. Thank you to the Arconic Foundation for funding this program.
