Cans for Cash
Greensun is happy when we asked Thomaston, Georgia, Mayor Hays Arnold if he would respond today to the “Cans for Cash” program he stated yes. Greensun is confident this will be a wonderful program for the community of Thomaston to participate with Keep America Beautiful. We would be honored to work for ”Cans for Cash” recycling as a community public service program for the City of Thomaston. We encourage Thomaston, Georgia residents to support our Mayor’s response as a positive effort to go green. This city recycling challenge is a partnership of The United States Conference of Mayors, Keep America Beautiful, Inc. and Novelis Corporation to assist towns in sustainable recycling efforts.
