FBI Helps Clearwater Investigation of Recycling Negligence

After reports that the city of Clearwater, Florida had failed to recycle any materials it has collected, the FBI has reached out to Clearwater officials to help in the investigation.

Interim City Manager Jennifer Poirrier can’t confirm if the FBI is conducting its own investigation or what elements it would be looking into.
