Johns Creeks installs recycling bins at parks
Now visitors to Johns Creek parks have access to recycling for their water bottles and soda cans. The city has placed 40 bottle-shaped recycling receptacles in city parks.
“We’ve had a number of people ask us about recycling at the park, but we didn’t have any recycling receptacles in the past,” said James Swope, solid waste manager.
The 30-gallon containers, placed near trash cans, are expected to siphon 25 to 35 tons of recyclable waste a year from landfills.
The containers cost about $100 each, and are made from recycled plastic.
