At the ' January 29 , 1990, Environmental Affairs Committee, the
Committee discussed the possibility of establishing a multi-

County is one of the largest employers in the county, and the
Committee telt that the County should be a role model with
recycling programs. A multi-material recycling program where
proceeds are returned to the respective institution may prove to
be a feasible method of establishing additional recycling
programs without the cost for County personnel that is incurred
with the County white paper recycling program.
