The LEOs heard about the importance of recycling at their latest
meeting, presented by Keep Pickens Beautiful.
Keep Pickens Beautiful pre
sented the recent program at
Pickens High School LEOs
Club. This group of students is a
part of the Jasper Lions Club.
Lawton Baggs is their liaison and
the group sponsor is Lisa Payne.
Sharon Harp, KPB Board direc
tor and chairperson for recycling,
spoke to the group about the im
portance of recycling.
Ms. Harp told the group there
are many products for sale made
from recycled materials. Recy
cling reduces solid waste by
keeping trash out of our landfills.
Products and packaging made
from recycled material are every
where in stores that sell gro
ceries, office supplies, auto parts
and everything in between.
Recyclables are transformed
into an amazing variety of new
products such as plastic milk
jugs. It is also returned to yards
and parks as plastic lumber and
picnic tables. Steel food cans re
turn to the hardware store as nails
and screws. Newspapers become
egg cartons. There’s no limit to
the things that can be made from
recyclables. Ms. Harp gave each
student an ink pen made from re
cycled tires. Destiny Clonts was
the lucky winner of a KPB T-
shirt made from recycled mate
rial.
T-shirt winner LEO club
member Destiny Clonts.
If you have a group who
would like to know more about
recycling contact the KPB office
at 706-253-3600 for more infor
mation.
