Recycling drive boosts aluminum and overall county reuse
The program since October 1989 has salvaged 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of aluminum monthly, saving 4 percent of yearly aluminum from Frederick County landfill by end of 1990. The county runs a closed loop approach with local spinoffs, recycling newspapers, glass, white goods, oil, antifreeze, batteries, plastics, and steel cans via partnerships with Mes, Conservit, Suburban Insulation, and private firms, generating no net cost while expanding markets and jobs for recyclers.
