As you may know, recycling saves our Earth’s natural resources, energy, and space in the landfill. When we choose not to litter we prevent animals and plants from being harmed.
Hello, I’m Polly Spiller, known to many as “The Recycling Girl”. I offer fun recycling and litter prevention hands-on activities to classes, businesses, and others interested in recycling education.
At Adams Brown Recycling in Georgetown, my job as Education Specialist is centered around providing knowledge that helps to understand the how, where, and why recycling is important.
My presentations strive to aid in meeting proficiency outcomes. The information I share with students fits into the class curriculum. I’m a great resource for Earth Day! I also help businesses to “go green” by setting up recycling programs at the office or educating employees about recycling.
I thank those teachers and groups who have us back each year and I look forward to seeing you this school year. If you haven’t scheduled a presentation in the past, I hope that you will this year.

Tours
We welcome the public to schedule a tour of our Georgetown facility throughout the year! Begin with a discussion about recycling and why it’s important. Then proceed to the buying area where you will get to see items we purchase, hopefully, watch aluminum cans take a ride on the conveyor belt, and get the whole group weighed on our large item scale! After that, continue on the tour to the tipping and sorting area to see the process recyclables take after they are collected from curbside or the drop-boxes. End the tour with a trip to the Glass reFactory and learn how we take recycled glass bottles, jars, and jugs and turn them into beautiful sun-catchers.
Call today to schedule your tour! 937-378-3431 extension 104.
Rumpke experienced more than a dozen fires at its Cincinnati and Columbus recycling facilities in 2017 and continues to see numerous truck fires. The culprit: batteries.
