DAY TRIP: a pragmatic trip to the Adair Recycling Center

By Linda Waggener

Adair Garden Club member, writer, environmentalist and sister in the "From Off" society, Mary Knight, requested a day trip that details going to the local recycling center. Usual CM Day Trip features are guides to going out, discovering beautiful landscapes and unique places.

This pragmatic Day Trip feature is geared more toward helping us focus inward and keeping the landscape beautiful.



The Adair County recycling center is open from 7am-3pmCT Monday through Friday at 62 Service Road, Columbia, KY.

The Center accepts plastic bottles, cardboard, paper, steel, and aluminum cans.

The Adair County Recycling Center is specific about plastic - the only plastics that can be taken in and managed at this time are plastic bottles. There are no methods for recycling pieces of plastic other than bottles. If plastic garbage is left at the recycling center, I'm told there that it goes in with general trash just as if it had been put in an individual's garbage.

The Center does not have a glass recycling system. Pulaski County Recycling in Somerset does have, and there may be opportunities to partner in the future.

David Beasley, Solid Waste Coordinator for Adair County, is open to questions and discussion. The Center phone number is 270-378-0782.

The photos and directions linked to this story take readers from the Public Square in Columbia to the Adair County Recycling Center.

This Day Trip feature takes us on a pragmatic trip to the Adair Recycling Center, leaving the center of our universe, the Public Square in Columbia, KY, by way of Campbellsville Street, Highway 55 North. In this Jason Mardis drone photo, it shows the four roads leading away from the historic Adair County Courthouse - Campbellsville Street is the artery most visible in the front center of the picture. Going in the circle around the courthouse, Jamestown Street leads off to the left, Greensburg Street to the right, and the Courthouse tower points to Burkesville Street in back of it.
