“We feel like it’s a really important service to help people manage material that doesn’t belong in a landfill, or discarded in a back yard or a storm drain,” said said Anne Fiehrer Flaig, director of the Butler County Recycling and Solid Waste District. “We want people to bring it to us, as a way to protect the environment and public health.”
