Butler County Plans To Tackle Surge In Trash From Growth
Butler County officials confront a projected surge in annual waste once 50 000 new residents move in by 2020. The plan, required by state law, seeks storage capacity and measurable recycling efforts, with Fairfield Liberty and West Chester driving most growth.
