Recycling success argues against curbside program in Lawrence
An editorial notes Lawrence’s 2007 recycling rate of 35 percent, above the national 32.5 percent, and says private efforts already meet demand. It cautions a municipal curbside service would be costly, likely one size fits all, and may deter current free options while offering limited additional landfill savings. The piece credits Mayor Mike Dever and local residents for environmental commitment.
