The Frederick County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to terminate the contract between the county and Browning-Ferris Industries for solid waste pickup at Wednesday’s meeting. BFI is accused of picking up commercial garbage and mixing it with county garbage, which is forbidden in the contract. The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant on Aug. 26, 2005, and seized 324 items from BFI’s office on Lenoir Drive, which included computers, landfill tickets, customer files, and financial documents.
