Delaware House OKs Curbside Recycling Bill

A new bill in the state legislature requiring trash haulers to provide curbside recycling just needs Gov. Markell's signature to be put into Delaware state law. In order to get started, the bill includes a temporary 4 cent fee on small carbonated beverages to help cover initial costs. The fee will end after 4 years and will be offset by savings in diverting waste from landfills to recycling centers. Charges for regular waste disposal at Delaware Solid Waste Authority landfills are slated to increase by 50 percent on July 1 of this year.
