Law rence to launch single stream recycling in city
The city will begin single stream recycling for all single and multifamily homes within city limits in fall 2014. Rural residents should consult their local trash haulers for curbside service and can use private centers like 12th and Haskell, Lonnie's Recycling, or Wal-Mart Eco Center. City may keep some drop offs but fewer.
