EASLEY — Easley Mayor Lisa Talbert says changing the city’s form of government is no longer one of her goals, despite it being an issue she raised during her campaign.

COUNTY — Recycling glass is still an issue for Pickens County, but the county recently got an assist from an area railroad company.
In a Facebook Live video posted Friday, county administrator Ken Roper discussed the county “continuing to adapt to the 
market conditions that we see with our recycling efforts.”
“One of the big things with recycling right now is the market for glass — for recycled glass — is basically nonexistent,” he said. “”We get from our eight recycling centers … recyclable glass and we bring it back and we sort it and we cannot get a vendor to come and get it.”
