Tell Kennesaw What's Important To You


The City of Kennesaw wants to know what environmental issues are important to you. The Environmental Committee has put together a short survey to gather your opinions. The results of the survey will tell us where to focus our efforts -- recycling, litter, greenspace, or other issue that is important to you.

Please click here to take the survey. It will take less than 10 minutes, but the effects will last for years.

Big Shanty Festival 2008

For the second year, Kennesaw's Environmental Committee placed recycling containers around the Big Shanty Festival.

Over 40,000 people attend the event and enjoy the craft vendors, children's activities, food and beverages. Hundreds of pounds of plastic and aluminum are discarded each year, which adds to the city's cost for trash dumping.


With the Committee's recycling efforts, that waste is redirected to recycling centers, saving the City money, as well as reducing the impact on the landfills. Those materials are recycled into other goods, having an almost endless life cycle.

Look for the recycling containers at every event, and put your plastic and aluminum beverage containers in the right place.
