The Keep Franklin County Beautiful Organization is moving
forward on a plan to buy a bottle crushing machine – but they still need your
help.
The machine can crush bottles into sand, which can then be
used for all types of things like beach restoration, filling sandbags, and even
for road work.
The machine is portable so it can be taken to special
events and the group is working with the Apalachicola Yacht Club to help them test
run it.
And better yet, it keeps the bottles out of the landfill so
landfill space can be used for items that can’t be recycled.
The machine will cost about 10 thousand dollars, though the
group is getting it at a slightly discounted price.
If you would like to make a donation, Keep Franklin County
Beautiful is a 5013c non-profit group so your donations are tax deductible.
If you go to the Keep Franklin County Beautiful Facebook
page, you will find a QR code that lets you make a donation electronically.
Checks can be made out to “Keep Franklin County Beautiful” at PO Box 6 in Apalachicola.
The zip code is 32329.
