Landfill Now Accepting Ag, Other Plastics<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Supervisor James Goldstein (D \u2013 Lebanon), chairman of the Madison County Board of Supervisors Solid Waste and Recycling Committee, announced recently that Madison County entered into a contract with a firm that converts agriculture and other plastics to oil; these materials will be collected at the landfill site and transfer stations throughout the county as a first step toward creation of a regional facility to recycle them in Madison County.<\/p>\n

Goldstein urges the public to utilize this opportunity and encourage others with a commitment to recycling to do the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe benefits in reduced costs, potential county use of low-sulfur diesel fuel, protected landfill space, recycling and jobs are very promising,\u201d Goldstein said.<\/p>\n
