- Roswell Recycling Center 'special' days for large items, electronics, etc. We purchased both rain a rain barrel and a compost bin as well.
- No
- Yes, I use the recycling center. - Janet
- Recycling Center, sale of compost bins.
- No - Jareda
- No; state sponsored neo-communism.
Are there more opportunities for Roswell to become a "greener" city? Where and how should they be implemented?
- Yes ,of course...try putting in some flowers, plants, and trees like Alpharetta. It seems as if Roswell is having a love affair with concrete, instead of something beautiful.
- Yes; more bike trails, maybe golf cart like Peachtree City.
- Place trash cans all over the city that allow the user to separate waste: cans, paper vs. garbage. - Janet
- Yes, more education on recycling at home and at school.
- No - Jareda
- "Greener" is really "Redder." None should be implemented. Let the market work.
