Jackson County Transfer Station/Recycling Center
Congressman Hal Rogers and the late Secretary of State James Bickford founded Pride. This program has helped Jackson County to clean up approximately 400 miles of roadside litter per year. It has also funded the cleanup of (73) illegal dumpsites. It has greatly improved water quality, wildlife habitat, and the general appearance of Jackson County.
Each year in the month of April we have our annual pride spring cleanup. This is when we recruit volunteer groups to pick up roadside litter. There are also free drop-off days for the public.
Every volunteer receives a Pride T-shirt for his or her efforts.
We also have roadside Pride month in October where again we recruit volunteers to pick up roadside litter.
The efforts of these volunteers are greatly appreciated and help keep Jackson County beautiful.
Pride stands for personal responsibility in a desirable environment. Any questions about the Pride program can be answered by calling the Transfer Station or going to their website at www.kypride.org.
