Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the following report with photos about Keep Cobb Beautiful’s Fall Recycling event:

Keep Cobb Beautiful (KCB) had its Fall Recycling event at Jim Miller Park.
In addition to the normal paper shredding, metal, electronic, textile and
Hefty Renew recycling, KCB added tennis shoes, books and eyeglasses to their
recycling opportunities.  Over 1,000 cars were serviced by the volunteers
from the KCB Board, McEachern High School, and The Greater South Cobb Kiwanis
Club, Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity and the South Cobb Lions Club.  We also
appreciate our law enforcement heroes who directed traffic.  After the event
concluded, we celebrated with delicious Chick-Fil-A sandwiches.
