Moore, Oklahoma, ponders curbside recycling vote

KOCO 5, Oklahoma City, reports that the City Council of Moore, Oklahoma, is expected to vote Monday, Aug. 1, 2016, on whether to allow residents to vote on a $3 monthly curbside recycling program on the November ballot.

“This is the 11th hour on the environment,” Moore Recycling Coalition co-founder Leslie Bonebreak says in the article. “If we all did a little bit, it would snowball into a big effect.” 

Residents attempting to unload recyclables must currently drive them to a facility near Northwest 5th and Telephone Road. Bonebreak added that the bins at this facility are always at capacity. 

“It’s important for our city,” Councilor Melissa Hunt says. “We’re a good-size city and we’re the only municipality around here that doesn’t have curbside recycling.”
