Some Laramie residents oppose mandatory recycling

Posted: Aug 15, 2010 10:17 AM

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - City officials say a proposal to make curbside recycling mandatory in Laramie is angering residents who don't want to pay a monthly fee of $1.66 for the service.
Councilor Bryan Shuster says a constituent called him "a four-letter word" at a coffee shop when Shuster told him the fee would go up to $5 when the program is fully implemented in three years.
Councilors have not yet taken a final vote on the matter.
Some of the councilors say their constituents would support the program while others say they don't want the program to be mandatory.
The program would affect residents who receive automated garbage collection. The items to be recycled would be newspapers, magazines, cardboard and plastic.
