The main culpret around our house during the holidays and, really, ANY time of year are plastics! While we have little to no option about how our goods are packed when we purchase them from a store or on-line, we DO have some control over where that trash goes when we are done it with it.
We are fortunate here in Cobb County to participate in the Hefty EnergyBag or Hefty Renew program. This small addition to our own household garbage has reduced the bags of trash we put in our curbside waste by 50%. Here is how it works…..mostly (I’ll explain after the video.)
How it Works
- Purchase your Hefty Renew bags at any of our local grocery stores or online here.
- Fill them with all the plastics we cannot take at Powder Springs Recycling Center! That’s right – all that stuff you have to trash because it isn’t a 1 or 2 can go in these little orange miracle bags.
- HERE IS WHERE WE DIFFER FROM THE VIDEO…..Because we don’t have curbside recycling in Powder Springs, these bags can be dropped off at WestRock Recycling at 1775 County Services Road in the big orange dumpster.
Interested in having Hefty ReNew drop off here in Powder Springs? Please let our Recycling Center Staff know! We’re always looking for ways to serve our community’s recycling needs.
