The Mayor and City Council are now working on the possibility of developing a curb side recycling program for Long Beach. The Council has already had one workshop with our solid waste provider, Peninsula Sanitation Service. In that workshop the Council discussed how we might be able to get curb side recycling in Long Beach and what costs and options would be available. Our provider is now looking into the costs and options that would be available for service in Long Beach.
We plan on having another work session with Peninsula Sanitation Service before the October 1, 2007, City Council meeting. This work session will begin at 6:00 PM in the Long Beach City Hall Council Room.
If the program seems useful to our community, the costs reasonable and the program has options that allow a choice for the residents, the Council may go forward and direct staff to proceed with preparing all the necessary items to move forward.
