The problem again is convenience. Some residents, especially those in the outlying southern end of the county, simply aren’t going to be willing to drive to Amissville to dump their trash. Sadly, the only option will be dumping it along back roads.
If there were recycling centers at the dumpster sites, I would happily sort my recyclables, then deposit my cans and bottles along with the rest of my trash. *
But I understand the concerns about having the sites open. The aluminum, certainly, and any- ] thing else of value, would swiftly be taken by the ( dumpster divers who prowl the sites looking for castoff treasures. ‘
My problem is minor compared to those who t work outside the county. They leave before the i landfill opens and return after it’s closed. And on < Saturdays, I’m sure that most of them have more ( important chores to do than to haul trash across the county.
All of this, however, may end on a happy note. * Nina Stamer, the county’s litter and recycling coordinator, told us at the recycling meeting Nov. i 14 that she is exploring the possibility of locating , a second recycling center at the school bus garage.
If School Superintendent David Gangel ; agrees, she said, the matter must then be approved by the School Board.
I hope that they can work out the details. I’ll • be the first to again start saving those bottles and cans, and drop them off on my way to work at the news office in Washington.
That’s what I call convenient.
