New recycling convenience site opens at JCPB

7/8/2009

A new Recycling Convenience Center is available for residents of Johnson City and Washington County. In a collaborative effort to help our community “live green,” the new Recycling Convenience Center is a cooperative effort between the City of Johnson City and Johnson City Power Board. The center is located next to the Power Board facilities in Boones Creek.

Residents are encouraged to utilize the site for the disposal of a variety of recyclables. Recyclable containers are provided for the following items: cardboard, clear glass, brown glass, aluminum cans, plastic, and mixed paper.

"We appreciate the opportunity to partner with the City in offering our customers convenient, easy access by which they may dispose of their recyclables. This goes right along with our current ‘save energy, live green’ promotion efforts,” claims Homer D. G’Fellers, Johnson City Power Board President & CEO.

A ribbon cutting will be held at the Boones Creek Recycling Convenience Center on Thursday, July 9th at 11 am to formally welcome the new Convenience Site.
