Curbside collection to begin Oct. 6 in Oxford, Miss.

 

Citywide curbside recycling services are scheduled to begin Oct. 6 for Oxford, Miss., according to a report in the Daily Journal (Tupelo, Miss.).

 

A pilot program had a participation rate of about 30 percent, according to the report.

 

The city currently recycles aluminum and steel cans, plastic, mixed paper, newspapers and cardboard. Residents either may provide their own recycling bins or purchase them from the city.

 

If current participation ratios hold, the city expects recycling volumes to increase by sixfold.
