Recycling and reuse was a hot topic with Montgomery county commissioners Monday morning. Environmental Health-Zoning Administrator Scott Barnhart explains what Independence has done to make a difference.

The landfill is currently at a 10-year capacity, and Barnhart said “we should take a hard look at it” as he asked commissioners to approve an upgrade to the plan. Commissioners approved an upgrade to the plan for the county to not only make solid waste reduction efforts but to find another location for a landfill.
