A Greener World Recycling, Inc.

To become a leader in rural area recycling by offering our customers excellent service and positive environmental consciousness!

We are a family of four, we live in Millers Creek and we recycle, a lot! We have three 18 gallon recycle bins in our garage that we fill up every 10-14 days. Unlike those lucky people who live within the city limits and have curbside recycling pick-up service, at the end of that 10-14 day period we have to load up our car & haul the bins to a drop off site. Let's face it, it's not fun to do all that work so we decided that if we felt that way, there must be plenty of other fellow recyclers out there with the same sentiment. Thus A Greener World Recycling, inc. was born.

For those people who already recycle, we want to make your efforts a little easier to keep the planet and, more locally, Wilkes County clean. And, for those folks who aren't currently making recycling a priority...hopefully, we can change your minds. We feel that recycling is a personal responsibility of everyone who creates waste - and that includes all of us. No one wants to live near a landfill yet not everyone will expend the little time & effort it takes to recycle. Let's be good stewards of our environment and work together to build a greener, healthier Wilkes County!
