Composting urged in Frederick recycling plan push
A private consultant urged Frederick to broaden its recycling plan beyond cans and bottles to include composting using yard waste newsprint and corrugated cardboard. Thom Jones of On Target Systems said the city can meet the 20 percent recycling goal with a looped local system aided by dairy byproducts, though initial costs may rise. He suggested extending truck life and leveraging current equipment to offset capital costs with a plan likely to be reviewed in spring 1982.
