The strategy also has the support of other state partners, including the Georgia Department of Natural Resources – Environmental Protection and Pollution Prevention Assistance Divisions and the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority. Added Beatty: “We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, one of our frequent state project partners. We applaud and appreciate the DNR board’s unanimous approval of our plan to support these new recycling efforts.
