MONTGOMERY COUNTY’S PRECINCT 3 RECYCLING AND REUSE COMPLEX HONORED BY TAC - Montgomery County’s Precinct 3 Recycling and Reuse Complex was recently honored during the Commissioners Court meeting by the Texas Association of Counties (TAC) Leadership Foundation.
The program is one of 24 county programs around the state selected to receive high honors for innovation, achievement and delivery of service in the 2008 County Best Practice Awards, which recognizes county initiatives that serve as a model to others and save taxpayer monies. Montgomery County’s program, which began in 2000, was honored for superior innovation in community improvement.
“Conservation Colors” is the county’s latest recycling program where they re-blend viable latex paint that is collected. The paint is sorted along seven color schemes, drained into 150-gallon vats and then poured into one- and five-gallon buckets. These conservation colors are given to the public free-of-charge. This program typically saves about 650 gallons of paint a month from being thrown in a landfill or poured down the drain.
Montgomery County currently has a recycling and re-use complex on several acres of land with a community collection center, a mobile collection trailer, a hazardous waste collection center and a re-use distribution center along with a demonstration garden for environmentally friendly gardening and yard keeping. Pictured is Montgomery County Commissioner, Precinct 3, Ed Chance, who heads up the Recycling and Reuse Complex.
