Curbside recycling comes to Hamilton County
Hamilton County, within Chattanooga city limits has a curbside service, and they switched from weekly to monthly. Outside city limits has none, until now.
Two enterprising young adults, Greg and Wendy Lawson planned for two years to offer recycling as simple as possible to the residents to all areas of Hamilton County, outside Chattanooga city limits. Their company is called GreenWorks.
They will offer a weekly service for glass, cell phones, computer and batteries. They also will accept aluminum cans, paper products, broken down cardboard, plastics #1 and #2,
Customers will simply take their recyclables, separate them into cans, paper, plastic and glass and put into grocery plastic bags, take them to the curb and leave them for pick up. Service is now available in Soddy Daisy on Tuesdays and on Signal Mountain on Thursdays. Later they will provide service to Harrison, Ooltewah, Collegedale and Lookout Mountain. Hixson areas are under discussion.
This Spring, they will offer call-in curbside service for larger items such as dishwashers, tires, lawnmowers and couches. Their concern for environmental hazards such as landfill leakage into water sources is what motivates them, and they hope it will motivate others as well.
If you are interested in convenience and helping the environment, please contact them at 598-1008 or atyourservice@greenworksofchattanooga.com. Company website is greenworksofchattanooga.com.
Recycling as easy as this is something all of us should consider because it makes real estate more attractive, while doing ourselves good by aiming for greener and healthier areas.
