Recycling's moral dilemma

Published: Dec. 17, 2019, 7 a.m.

Recycling. It's something many Frederick County residents do. As County Councilman Phil Dacey, who joined Frederick Uncut producer Heather Mongilio, said, recycling has been ingrained in people as the right thing to do. But recycling is costing the county around $6 million this year. And because of how recycled materials are sold on the market, the county is not recouping the money. County government reporter Steve Bohnel joined Mongilio to talk about recycling in Frederick County, as well as how the different council members, including Dacey, are reacting. He also explains some of the options being discussed by the county government. Later, city editor Allen Etzler joins Mongilio to recap the last week and look forward to news to come this week. Then, food and education reporter Katryna Perera comes into the studio to talk about her latest food review.
