Effort to boost recyling in Buena Vista could have major payoff in the future

The Rockbridge County Landfill will close in 2012. Buena Vista has started a nearly $50,000 effort to encourage more recycling to help the problem. (ALISHA LAVENTURE/Rockbridge Report)

Buena Vista city officials are thinking green -- in more ways than one. They are planning a recycling project that they hope will keep material out of the local landfill and save the city money as well.
