In celebration of Waste and Recycling Workers Week, GRC is highlighting our hometown recycling heroes!
Meet our hometown hero, Lisa Chesrown! As an Administrative Secretary for Hall County Resource Recovery, Lisa consistently brings a positive attitude, strong initiative, and a genuine passion for service to the department and the citizens of Hall County.
Beyond her daily responsibilities, Lisa has made it her mission to educate the community about the importance of reducing waste and protecting our environment. She partners with local schools, community groups, and organizations to promote sustainable habits, believing wholeheartedly that small actions can create meaningful change.
Throughout the year, Lisa visits numerous schools to teach students of all ages about the principles of “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” She helps students understand how much recyclable material passes through their schools each day and encourages administrators to implement or expand recycling programs. Her efforts have inspired many schools to take action and adopt new sustainability initiatives.
Lisa frequently hosts tours at the recycling center, guiding students, teachers, administrators, and parents through the collection and processing system. She explains how recycling works and why it matters for the health of our environment, our homes, and our community. One of the most rewarding outcomes for Lisa is seeing students take their knowledge home and motivate their families to recycle, or witnessing a school launch a new recycling program after her visit. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and her impact is far-reaching.
Join us in thanking Lisa for her devotion to environmental education and commitment to improving our community. Leave a thank you for Lisa in the comments below and don't forget to share so others will learn more about her story!
