Smyrna has a great curbside recycling program. I also love the recycling center! I take my bottles there to be recycled. I wish they accepted #5 and 6 plastics as well as styrofoam. I try to reuse the #5 and 6 containers as much as possible and take the styrofoam egg cartons and trays to Publix. I also wish Smyrna would consider purchasing a replacement truck so they could reinstate the curbside leaf collection/vacuuming program that they used to have when I first moved here 7 years ago. I spend so much extra money on yard bags, and time, bagging leaves each year, now that we no longer have this program. For a single homeowner, the job of bagging all the leaves is overwhelming!

Smyrna is far from green. It doesn't even have a curbside single stream recycling program like most other metro cities and counties. It has an ineffective tree protection ordinance, no bike lanes, and no concern for the ecosystem.

Here's the checklist for a green city. http://www.howgreenismytown.org
Smyrna has a long way to go.

@Jennifer, curbside recycling has been accepting #1thru #7 plastics for a few years now. Get the latest info at http://www.smyrnacity.com/index.aspx?page=107, click on the link at the bottom that says "Complete list of recyclable materials[PDF]"
