City faces two year wait on curbside recycling plan
Lawrence faces a two year delay due to a 2011 state law that bars starting curbside recycling before June 2014. The city commission will consider a data gathering process on costs while noting the 120 days of public hearings and an 18 month post adoption waiting period. Commissioner Aron Cromwell questions the law’s wisdom as the city may seek private bids for the service.
