Washington County is taking steps to correct a problem that has surfaced with its recycling program—dumping of ineligible items at recycling drop-off points, and littering the sites when bins are full. County Recycling Coordinator Tony Drury and Sheriff’s Deputy Alan Matheny present a plan to the Board of County Commissioners to make the public aware of responsibilities that come with this free service, through creation of a televised public service announcement and other means. Commissioners Bill McKinley, John Barr, Terry Baker, Jeff Cline and Ruth Anne Callaham ask questions during the presentation.
