The estimated cost of the recycling project for 1,000 households would be a monthly charge of $4.05 per can, and the city would have to commit com-mit to keeping BFI as the garbage providers, BFI's Gordon Raymond told council members. The city's garbage collection col-lection contract is up in February, which is one reason the city is looking into recycling now when they can negotiate, City Councilman Bruce Carpenter Car-penter said. City officials asked Raymond to put together a waste proposal and, in the meantime, they are going to see if any more residents sign up for curbside recycling. There is also a' possibility possibil-ity that the city could combine recycling efforts with other north-county cities to make the program pro-gram viable, Raymond said. Costs for the program would be $3.75 per can per month if there was full or mandatory participation partici-pation in curbside recycling. recy-cling. But for just the 250 that have signed up it cool on recycling would cost $6.10 a month, Kaymond said. This is in addition to the existing trash collection fees residents resi-dents already pay of $8.93 for the first can and $4.32 for the second. For some, recycling could replace the second can. Raymond explained that the company is very interested in keeping the city's regular trash service serv-ice and that is why the company would be willing to offer recycling. "This isn't a money maker; it's more of a service," serv-ice," Raymond said. The nearest BFI recycling recy-cling plant where the waste can be sorted is in Salt Lake City. The company com-pany then sells the materials mate-rials for recycling to plants around the country, coun-try, he said. There are no such plants in Utah County, and BFI does not have a sorting center in the county either. Recyclable items would include newspapers, newspa-pers, aluminum and tin cans or cardboard and would not need to be separated. sep-arated. Items that could not be recycled include glass, food and paint cans. If Lindon did offer curbside recycling, it would be the fourth city in the county after Lehi, which began a program in December. Lehi followed Provo and Orem in offering offer-ing recycling. American Fork, Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove and Highland officials are also looking into recycling, Raymond said. The city will continue to advertise the potential recycling program on city signs, through newsletters, newslet-ters, and on the city's Web site, www.lindoncity.org. The city has even recruited recruit-ed some Scout troops to go door to door for potential poten-tial sign-ups. The council discussed just putting one large recycling bin in the city and having that picked up once a week, but Carpenter Car-penter said that could cause problems for people because they would have to store the waste and then transport it. "I would rather pay the money than transport by far I would rather pay," he said. Those who are interested inter-ested or would like more information can call the city at 785-5043.
