Sheriff’s Office ‘Goes Green’ , Partnering With City Recycling Center Program
Sheriff Mitch Ralston Reports:
The Sheriff’s Office enhanced it’s role in environmental conservation this week, joining the City of Calhoun’s recycling program. The Recycling Center is administered by the City of Calhoun government and collects a variety of materials for recycling. The Center, located at 215 Pine Street is open 5 1/2 days each week, and accepts paper, cardboard, plastic, and glass. Directer Judy Peterson said, “We welcome contribution of materials from people in both the city as well as the unincorporated areas of the county. To be effective, this has to be a collaborative effort on the part of the City of Calhoun and Gordon County. We all must be mindful of our local environment, and protect it. I sincerely thank Sheriff Mitch Ralston for his forward thinking and his participation”. Sheriff Ralston said, “The Recycling Center is a great resource for Calhoun and Gordon County. Knowing how that the Sheriff’s Office and Jail generates a significant amount of recyclable material, it seemed a ‘perfect fit’ for us to participate. We must continue to be good stewards of the earth, and that begins with our local community.”
