Recycling in Walton County

[JustaLocal]

They pick up twice a week down here.

Hey GOP - do you get your garbage picked up twice a week, or only once?

Just curious - I know it's still only once a week in most areas north of DFS; wasn't sure about your neck of the woods.

I'm not sure my friends down here realize that while we hope for recycling, NoWal is hoping for twice-a-week pickup.

Once a week. Not that bad until littlegop forgets to put out the trash. Then it gets a little messy around the side of the house for a week or so. He does not forget near as much since I started storing the overflow in his room.

That is funny!

Well, maybe a curbside program for all of Walton County is a little too lofty of a goal at this time.

I am looking into if there are grants out there to make it worth it for the county, but maybe we should consider alternatives.

Any updates on recycling plans for the county?

We were up in SoWal for a week and I was horrified at the amount of cr*p we threw out. I am quite relieved to be back home and filling up our two big blue bins with newspapers, cereal boxes, bottles, cans and jars.

I wish I had read this thread before we got here, and I would have known where to drop off the recyclables. We had literally no room to bring them home with us. There just has to be a better way!

I am happy to report that WaterColor had a huge blue bag under the sink when we arrived. I had asked about this before. We filled it to the top and beyond!

I am a big proponent of our big blue bags and the recycling effort of Walton County in general, but wouldn't you think a highway (30A)that has been named a U.S National Scenic Highway would be proceeding with plans for mandatory curbside recycling???:angry: Maybe it is just me.

I have never actually seen one of these big blue bags. Where does one get them (besides WaterColor ) and how might they be distributed to renters, assuming one is not in WaterColor ?
