Recycle Resources

Keep Gastonia Beautiful is here as a resource to provide citizens valuable information on recycling education but we do not have anything to do with the day-to-day operations of any of the Gaston County-run recycling facilities.  All recycling facilities both in Gastonia and within the county are maintained by Gaston County NOT by the City of Gastonia or Keep Gastonia Beautiful.
