DRAFT 164 Dr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director, discussed the low participation rate and the difficulties in administering the curbside recycling contract for 15,000 homes in selected areas of the county. According to Dr. Pilkington, the four drop-off collection sites collect more tonnage in recyclables than ls collected from the 15,000 homes. To better serve the residents, the County is also planning three additional drop-off sites--two in the }(annapolis area and one in the Harrisburg area. There was discussion regarding the cost of recycling, privatization of the curbside recycling program and the possibility of the cities assuming the program. Chairman Barnhart asked Mr. Clifton to contact the municipalities of Kannapolts, Harrisburg and Mt. Pleasant to determine if there is an interest to assume the curbside recycling program. If there is an interest, there was general agreement that the Board would consider a 30-day extension to the County's recycling contract with BPI In order for the cities to implement plans to assuI~e the program.
