Recycling begins in Lawrence with curbside program
The city rolls out blue recycling bins citywide with an every other week pickup schedule starting this Tuesday. Half the trash customers will have recycling collected this week and the rest next week, with a map available online. The program costs 2.81 per month and requires no sorting. Local private recyclers were displaced, but the aim is to reduce landfill waste and support local Hamm Quarries plant processing recyclables.
