Rockville Seeks Mandatory Recycling
Rockville officials plan to make Montgomery County's multifamily and commercial recycling program mandatory for apartment residents and businesses, the City Council announced this month. The program would require all commercial enterprises and managers of apartment and condominium buildings with seven or more units to arrange for the collection and pickup of all recyclable materials.
The public comment period on the proposal ends 5 p.m. Aug. 29. Comments may be sent by mail to the Public Works Department, Environmental Management Division, Rockville City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave.; by phone at 240-314-8871; or by e-mail to environment@rockvillemd.gov
The council will consider the proposal Sept. 8.
