Craig volunteer group starts recycling center

Craig County has started its first recycling center.

Community Recycling Volunteers, a Craig County organization, has solicited businesses to sponsor the program and continues to seek funding.

The recycling bin, which has five compartments, has been placed next to the former New Castle High School. Cycle Systems of Roanoke is providing the bin on a rental basis and will present a program on recycling to county students.

Newspapers, aluminum, clear glass and mixed paper will be collected at the center. Aluminum and glass must be clean, but removing labels from glass is optional. Newspaper must be kept separate from other kinds of paper, but may be included with cardboard and brown paper grocery bags.

The science and art clubs at Craig County High School will police the site and provide signs.
