DAWSON COUNTY, Ga. – Recycling in Dawson County will undergo some major changes. The county will no longer accept plastic. It will accept uncontaminated cardboard and paper as well as metal but only at the Transfer Station 110 Transportation Lane.
Public Works Director David McKee told county commissioners at last week’s meeting there is no longer a market for plastic. McKee said the only way the county could continue to accept plastic would be to find a place to store it.
Commissioner Sharon Fausett expressed the sentiments of most of the commissioners when she said, “Not to recycle goes against every fiber of my body,” Commissioner Sharon Fausett said. “I’ve been recycling for years.”
But storage would cost the county thousands of dollars and that was an expense commissioners are not willing to pass on to taxpayers.
