Recycling Manager Cody Marshall made this presentation. He said that he is here to let the County Commissioners khow how they are going to move to single-stream recycling in the next seven months. He said that single-stream is when paper, bottles, cans, and cardboard can be put into one container. This will be done for convenience to citizens.
