Keep Forsyth County Beautiful

Notice the wet pavement?

So did our Adopt-A-Road group from Sonja's Loving Heart Foundation (Bear Mountain Custom Painting) let the rain stop them from doing their quarterly litter pick up on Mountain Road? No they did not!

Bravo! And many thanks to all of our litter clean up volunteers who brave the elements to help keep our County clean and beautiful!

Yes plastic bags are recyclable but not in your curbside recycling nor in the plastics bin at the County Recycling Centers. Instead they can be dropped off at most grocery and major retailers (bins are in front of the entrance or just inside in the front of the stores). Or if you participate in the Hefty Renew Program, plastic bags and plastic film can go in your orange bag.

Plastic bags tossed in with your other recycling can get caught in the gears of the machinery at the sorting facility, stopping production. Thank you for recycling right and helping keep the recycling process running smoothly!

What’s better than a devoted volunteer who picks up litter? A devoted volunteer who saves, cleans, and reuses what he finds!

One of our star volunteers Andy Bushelman does just that. This umbrella and chairs on his patio were found during one of our Meet Up and Clean Up Events. And instead of it going to the landfill with the rest of our litter hauls, Andy rescued and rehabilitated it. Bravo Andy! And to everyone who is choosing to reuse things instead of tossing them!
