Springville Sends a Message

Summary


When you want something done right, you best do it yourself. That seems to be the message coming from Springville where citizens, on their own, have instituted a curbside recycling program that other Utah communities may wish to emulate.

A group of residents went to the city and asked officials to look into a curbside plan. Over the next 12 months, a list of 400 other citizens interested in the program was compiled. The city decided to get a few wheels in motion. Ace Disposal gave the city an offer for running things city fathers couldn't refuse. The cost for residents will be $5.41 a month or $5.09 who buy into it for a year. Recycled goods will be heaped by each household into bins identical to current garbage bins. Collection is every two weeks. No new taxes were needed. No new city positions were formed. No feelings were crushed.
