Description
Earth Day is April 22 so it’s worth taking a look at an innovative program recently launched in Hillsborough County that embodies the old saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
It’s a first-of-its-kind partnership with Goodwill, and it’s saving space in the county landfill while also helping people in the community. For the past few months, Byron True has been bringing his recyclables to Hillsborough’s South County solid waste facility.
“We’ve probably been out here 10 to 15 times,” True said.
It’s there that Hillsborough County has teamed up with Goodwill. The charity provides full-time staffers – who at the very last minute – collect reusable items that were about to make their way into the landfill.
