Those within the Savannah and Tybee city limits have it easy. That is to say, they have what many communities across the country have established in the last 20 years, curbside recycling. Sure, there are facilities available for recycling for the motivated — collect and sort, load and drive, unload and drive home. It’s an inefficient use of time and gas. If instead, this were rolled into a regular service as it has been in Savannah, many more would use it.
Recycle Chatham has begun a petition that has already garnered 5,000 of the required 16,626 to place the measure on the ballot. Though our organization is focused on bicycles, we see the value in this and our board has therefore endorsed the petition. If you live in Chatham County and are a registered voter, please take the (very short) time to go to the petition and make your voice heard in support of this measure. Think of it this way: your rides will then be free from all of those cars driving their recycling to the transfer stations!
