Asbestos Recycling Resource

Asbestos was used from the 1930s until the late 1970s to make thousands of products.
AS these products are used or worn down, they can send stray asbestos fibers into the air. Inhaling or swallowing asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma or other disease later in life.
Luckily, asbestos can be recycled into a harmless glass with the help of professional abatement teams.

Assign A Highway

Attorney Frank Kilgore successfully launched the Assign-A-Highway Program in Buchanan County as a way to achieve sustainable roadside cleanups. The program utilizes probationers, who are nonviolent offenders, to pick up two-mile sections of roadsides every two weeks. The Roundtable applied for and received a grant from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to promote this program throughout Virginia. DEQ has funded the program for three years. The Virginia Department of Transportation has funded the program for two years. For more information on this innovative and highly successful program, see www.assignahighway.com.
