Our recycling system in Alleghany County has never been modernized and has recently come to a complete halt. We see this as an opportunity to create an up-to-date recycling processing station. Recycled materials can be pressed into building materials like bricks for much needed sidewalks, boards or plywood, right here in Sparta. The collection of recycling should include the school system, our hospital, governmental buildings and collection points on Main Street and athletic fields.
Why is this important?
There have been many discussions on social media of people airing frustration about not being able to recycle. People drive to neighboring towns to recycle their waste. A community that cares about their waste will take pride in the community they live in.
