The Buzz
Buzzy the Buzzard
Hi, folks! You know what this town needs? Besides parking, speed bumps, crosswalks, paved roads, businesses, and a few other things? Recycling.
A business opportunity waiting to happen. You know I do get around some and have family all over. And other rural areas have recycling opportunities.
Some places have county-run transfer stations where people take their stuff and sort it, and it gets trucked off to different processors. Other places have curbside pickup, but usually that is in towns.
Our landfill does recycle electronics. And there are companies nearby that take cans and other metals. But what about all the glass, plastic, cardboard, and Styrofoam we use?
Surely there is some way for an enterprising soul to make a buck off that stuff. The first to figure out how deserves it, as well as the community’s high regard.
I am watching.
Love,
Buzzy
