According to an article in The Sundance Times, Sundance, Wyoming, the city council will make changes to the recently enacted recycling program in response to confusion over the items eligible for pickup.
“Everybody now can put out their corrugated, good cardboard in one stack; their blue bags with metal, plastic, aluminums—your typical stuff we used to put in there; and then newspaper and ledger paper can go in a different pile,” Public Works Director Mac Erickson told the city council last week, The Sundance Times reports.
Mayor Paul Brooks raised the concern that residents would be discouraged from participating if the recycling program was overcomplicated.
“If we start running the truck more often, we’re going to have to raise the garbage rates,” Brooks said at the meeting.
