The project is sponsored by the
Mecklenburg County Board of
County Commissioners to raise
awareness of the importance of
recycling trash. It has been
endorsed by the Dilworth
Community Development
Association.
"This is an excellent example of
what can be done to encourage
recycling,” County Commission
Chairman Carla E. DuPuy said.
"Perhaps this will stimulate similar
efforts throughout the County. I hope
this one-day demonstration will
make people think about the need for
long-term commitment to
recycling." v|
Experts estimate that in the
County between $10 and $16 million
in materials could be recycled
instead of buried in landfills. At the
same time it is being buried, the
County is running out of space in
landfills tp bury trash. The
Commissioners have warned that
existing landfill space will be filled
by the end of June 1967. In an effort
to reduce the amount of trash we
produce, the Commissioners are
urging residents to get into the habit
of recycling aluminum cans, glass
bottles and newspapers.
-Volunteers in the Dilworth
demonstration project are getting
excited about the prospect of
promoting recycling.
“Boy Scouts like to do anything to
improve conservation and environ
mental resources,” said Chuck
Towery, District Executive,
Mecklenburg County Council, Boy
Scouts of America. I
“Boy Scout Troop 120 of Avondale /
Presbyterian Church, Troop 1 of/
Holy Comforter Episcopal Churcly
and Troop 9 of St. Patrick’s Cath/
dral will collect the recyclables frqpi
the curb." J~
Marines, who will drive eight
trucks through the neighborhood

forward to the project, too.‘We’re
interested because we’re sening the

got events for everyone from the
first-time, casual runner to the
experienced, competitive runners.”
Numerous awards will be offered
in a variety of age categories. Pre
registration ends March 25, but
entrants may register the day of the
race. Only those who pre-register
will be guaranteed a T-shirt.
