City, ECO join to give out recycling bins

By Bill Moss, Published: March 11, 2014

The city of Hendersonville will give out 550 recycling bins to 21 Henderson County public schools and the Henderson County Boys and Girls Club in a joint project developed by the city's Environmental Sustainability Board and the Environmental Conservation Organization.

ECO proposed the idea of donating the old recycling bins to local schools and non-profits. The old bins became surplus when the city replaced them with rollout carts to increase recycling. On March 6, the Hendersonville City Council approved a resolution allowing the donation of the recycling bins. Beginning Tuesday, members from the City of Hendersonville's Environmental Sustainability Board and members from Environmental Conservation Organization began distributing the plastic bins.
