Fayetteville Mayor Molly Rawn is proposing to replace the city's current hand-sorted curbside recycling system with cart-based single-stream recycling to minimize rate increases and boost participation.
The current curbside system has only 40% resident participation, the lowest in the region, while the new system could reach 70% participation and reduce physical strain on city workers. Ozarks at Large's Matthew Moore spoke with Mayor Rawn about the proposal, which she will present to the city council for a vote in early August.
