It looks like the Henry County Recycling Center is closing by the end of June 2018. Now, this isn't published in any news outlet and the information comes directly from those working at the site. Just think you Board of Commissioners is going to close a vital service to the community that is paid for through your taxes. Interesting to note there are people who think it is okay to let it close. Where do they think this stuff will end up, that's right on the sides of the roads and in woods or your very own cul-de-sac. The landfills such as in Clayton County are charging over a $100 for things to be taken there. Henry County has needed another landfill for decades now. And it is laughable that they suggest taking things down to Spalding County on the other side of Hwy 16 to the landfill on Bailey Jester Road. Yes, it cost money to operate a recycling center or landfill, but they are needed essentials in any community because humans produce trash at an alarming rate. But it is a disgrace that the commissioners haven't the backbone to face the citizens and let them know that this service is being closed down. Maybe this is part of the new direction we are hearing about from the building where people hide from the press and attack citizens who ask why these things are happening with no answers just more of the same rhetoric. Just remember as you are riding down the road and there are piles of metal, glass, car batteries, tires and other recyclable materials along that rode who is at fault. Elections are coming and it is time for many changes in that cathedral of what is supposed to be legislative action to help citizens not hurt them. Remember when you pay your tax bill on your property that has increased in value and ask why isn't part of this being used to keep Henry Clean.
