Hey Knoxville, do you recycle right?
Why should you recycle right?"Knox County taxpayers spend almost $2,000,000 per year to transport to and bury waste in a landfill forever while the revenue from the sale of recyclables can sometimes exceed $500,000 per year. Recycling helps offset significant expenses and helps keep taxes low." - From Knoxcounty.org |
