Tybee Island Recycling Center
By Monty Parks
Drive by recycling on Tybee!!
First, let me say that I used to like being awake this early in the morning. But that was long ago, when I was younger. Now I’m an old man and I just don’t like
being up, dressed and ready to work at 7:30 am.
But the sky was pure blue, and there I was, along with several other happy faces. And they just were so freaking happy that I could not help but to smile.
We were at the Tybee DPW yard to have a recycling event. The event was called the Drive Through Recycling Event, and we were there to help people unload their
cars and trucks. We hoped to make recycling easier, faster and more pleasant with our smiling faces.
We were successful.
During the four hour event, people drove up and we rushed out to get the stuff from their vehicles. We played with a beach ball that turned up. We joked about
another item that was probably thrown away by mistake, maybe not, but that unnamed item was just funny as heck. My face got tired from smiling so much.
When I watched these wonderful people working, I thought back to how a year ago, none of this existed. A year ago, all we had was a foolish idea about how to
do recycling on Tybee. So many communities across the country have stopped recycling because of rising costs and disappearing markets. But Tybee has kept on
keeping on. Our community really believes in recycling.
Why take my word for it? Because really, I think the pictures from that day say it all…..
