Bandera Recycles starts the year doubling customers in two months
Since the county opened recycling for selected items at its Bandera solid waste site in November, the average number of customers has doubled.
There were 362 times that residents throughout the county recycled cardboard, #1 plastic bottles and aluminum cans on Saturdays during first two months since recycling restarted.
Recycling is in an experimental stage with volunteer screeners limited to the Bandera site until it can be seen as a worthwhile endeavor by the county. If volunteer recruitment is successful, it may be expanded to cover other county waste sites.
Currently, Commissioner Jody Rutherford oversees the effort at the Bandera site.
