Pharmacist and owner Catherine Meeks led the certification effort for her businesses’ certification. “We were already recycling all that we could, especially since most of our products come in cardboard boxes, and we now use Bi-County for our recycling services,” stated Meeks.

“We recycle medicine bottles and we encourage our customers to bring any unused medication back to us so we can dispose of them properly and keep them from being put into our water system,” said Meeks.

“We’ve cut back on the amount of printing we do and communicate with our customers electronically when possible.” commented Meeks. “In addition, we’ve cut back on energy use by adjusting thermostats and changing some of the light fixtures. Conservation is something we think is important so we are doing what we can to lessen our impact.”

County Mayor Jim Durrett and City Mayor Kim McMillan thanked Meeks and her employees for participating in the CMC Green Certification process.
