Lawrence weighs public private curbside recycling plan
City officials study options to boost curbside recycling and will hear a Sustainability Advisory Board recommendation for a private public pilot. Private firms would provide services while the city promotes and registers registered companies through an outreach campaign. Residents would pick a suitable provider, pay only for used services, and civic oversight would be modest. The city seeks to reduce landfill waste and support private enterprise while offering resident choices.

The strategy hinges on persuading midlevel and potentially some leaders to renounce al Qaida and join a political process.
