Gatesburggogreen Initiative Case Study

Gatesburg residents, businesses, and city officials recently proposed a recycling initiative that'll have a positive impact on the city and environment. The GatesburgGoGreen Initiative will reduce the amount of waste added to the county landfill by 90% over five years, while improving city budget by eliminating the need for a new landfill. This system will be well regulated, monitored, and done in a manner to ensure the city of Gatesburg is doing its part to benefit the planet. In 10 years, the county landfill will be closed if Gatesburg doesn't take action. Gatesburg has already banned the dumping of recyclable construction waste and started a composting program for yard clippings and leaves, but the GateseburgGoGreen Initiative will provide another effective manner of reducing waste for the county.

Although it seems to be an initial tax buredon, the cost of a new landfill will be more expensive than enacting the GatesburgGoGreen Initiative, meaning the choice to recycle will be saving Gatesburg
