Recycle this!

City recycling rules change

Finally, city residents will be able to add plastic bottles like these to the curbside recycling pile. After some haggling with the recycling service, City Council will pay an additional $22,218.36 per year to get plastics and corrugated cardboard recycled—and apparently, that’s a bargain. Starting February 5, give up your plastic Diet Coke bottle collection and kick that used-up laundry detergent container to the curb. Council will also rejigger the recycling schedule to speed pick-up, to the chagrin of rummaging raccoons citywide.

If this kind of local, independent journalism matters to you, help keep it going. It costs $26,245 a week—$2.23 weekly per copy, or roughly $9.50 monthly per copy—to produce C-VILLE Weekly, including writers, designers, printing, and overhead. We suggest a recurring gift of $10 per month to help cover production costs, but any amount adds up to revenue we can count on. Click to give.
