  TRI COUNTY RECYCLING CENTERS 

Sr. Claire McGowan Springfield, KY 2005

New Pioneers organized the first curbside pickup recycling program in Springfield KY, which began in 2005 as a partnership between us, the City of Springfield, and the Washington County Department of Solid Waste. Although we no longer manage the program, advocating for recycling remains important to our mission.
