Recycled ideas are often the best kind.

Old or new, a good idea is a good idea.

And recycled ideas on recycling have people talking in Natchez and Adams County.

For the first time in years, our community has made a concerted effort to begin a county-wide recycling program.

We aren’t there yet, but people are talking.

Monday night the county recycling committee opted to take a different route from the previously planned one. The county and city won’t be seeking grant dollars for recycling bins or other programs, but will instead lead the private sector to handle things.

A few businessmen have expressed interest in opening a recycling facility, and said they will do so soon.

In turn, the recycling committee is going to focus its energies on educating the public on recycling.

Our community needs to know why we should recycle, what can be recycled and how we can do it.

The ideas on the table lately haven’t been necessarily new or innovative, but they have been ideas.

Our community must continue to talk about recycling. If one idea doesn’t work, try another.

But, let’s keep trash on the table, no matter what.
