2009 was a great year for the Abilene Recycling Center, and to make sure 2010 is just as great, it might not be bad to make a "green" New Year's resolution.

With 2010 underway, the City of Abilene hopes residents will make recycling a New Year's resolution. More and more people are taking up the effort to go green as each year passes

Leonard Neith of Abilene says this past holiday season was one of the busiest times yet. "We recycled 17 tons of cardboard in two days."   

As more people choose to recycle, Neith tells us he'll keep working at making it easier for you, "We have 9 drop off sites and 2 on the way." 

City officials hope when helping the environment is this easy, you'll choose recycling as another option to go green in the Big Country. The Abilene Zoo will be going green, the city is planning on opening a drop off site at the zoo next week.
