REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE 2011
7 great resources for recycling on Floyd Hill
Recycling is the right thing to do and we are all motivated to recycle for different reasons. You are either already recycling or thinking about starting. Yes, recycling does take a little extra time, but it could mean cash savings for you in the long run – and a better environment.
The Floyd Hill Area Property Owners Association (FHAPOA) is challenging everyone on Floyd Hill and the surrounding area to start or improve your recycling efforts. Recyclables aren’t just in your trash can; they are all around your property. I found out our old barbeque grill is free to recycle! CLEAN UP and get rid of all your unwanted stuff.
With the help of some of the Floyd Hill neighbors and the Clear Creek County Transfer Station and Recycling Center , I found all kinds of great resources to share.
