Fiscal Court approves MOU with Northern Kentucky Health Department for e-cigarette cartridge recycling in schools
Summary
Campbell County Fiscal Court approved a memorandum of understanding to partner with the Northern Kentucky Health Department to recycle seized e-cigarette cartridges from county schools and coordinate education and prevention work using existing grants.
The Campbell County Fiscal Court approved a memorandum of understanding with the Northern Kentucky Health Department to partner on recycling seized e-cigarette cartridges from Campbell County schools and to coordinate education and prevention efforts.
Administrator Matt explained that cartridges contain problematic plastics, batteries and chemicals that complicate recycling, and that the health department has a separate grant for education and prevention. “The batteries are problematic, as are the chemicals,” Matt said while outlining the MOU. He said the agreement uses existing grant funds from the partners and does not require direct fiscal-court funding.
The MOU, as presented, outlines each party’s responsibilities and would let the partners pool grant resources to both prevent youth vaping and safely handle seized cartridges. The court voted to approve the MOU by voice vote with no opposition.
No specific dollar amounts were tied to the county in the meeting record; the administrator said there is no county money required under this agreement.
