Recycling

Macon County cares less of the status of our environment. The court house recycles nothing and consistantly blows off discussion into the subject. Statistics, statements and my comments and highlighting in the 2015 Macon County Solid Waste Management Plan unequivalently recycling platform for Frank Dillman for District 4 Macon County Commission demonstrate the commission's lack of interest protecting our sensitive environment.

I have recycled my household garbage since 1986 and feel the gratification of protecting our environment.

I will use my contacts with East Alabama Recycling Partnership, EARP, an recognized and honored statewide community service, to advise and assist in the development of our county's recycling efforts.

I will push hard for an Electronic Recycling day (E-day) for unwanted electronics and appliances and paper shredding to be hosted within Macon County, similar to Lee County and the City of Opelika.

Macon County has a large grass field on the Road and Bridge campus on Hwy 199 that will be ideal for a 24-hour recycling center. The county only needs someone to spearhead the effort. Elect Frank Dillman and he will be that person.
