As the Blount County landfill begins to fill and waste disposal costs continue to increase, if you haven't considered recycling, it is time to think about it. As you look around Chestnut Ridge when the trash is put out you see many items that can be recycled but yet are just taken to the landfill. Cans, cardboard, paper, plastics of all sorts and more. Most waste disposal operators in the area do have recycling pickup, so it is the citizen's responsibility to take care of recyclables. Blount County has set up a free recycling center about 15 from Chestnut Ridge on
