It appears that after years of recycling the Town of Front Royal is poised to abandon the environmentally-friendly practice. Consideration of dropping recycling versus adding 85 cents to monthly residential utility bills will be on council’s agenda next Monday, July 8. But don’t blame the town’s elected officials for the perhaps harsh decision, blame the CHINESE. Information presented to council at a Monday, July 1 work session indicated that town officials are simply bowing to international and national trends sending the price of resold recyclables plummeting toward the center of the earth, or perhaps the bottom of the ocean – the same places all those deteriorating plastics and other materials may soon be heading.
