The UWF Haas Center is questioning whether residents would be willing to pay $8-$10 more a month for curbside recycling.

“If you’re willing to even pay just an $8 or $10 more a month, we know that you’re going to be motivated to make sure that you’re more than likely going to be recycling properly,” said the mayor. One of the reasons for dropping curbside recycling was the recycling from city sanitation customers averaged more than 50% contamination.

The mayor said that the recycling cans will be picked the week of Sept. 25. The new schedule starts Oct. 1, and the last curbside recycling picks ups will be the week of Sept. 18.*
