Denver City Council approves Pay As You Throw trash system for Denver.
expanded waste-services
Residents will be able to pay for the size of trash can they want and get weekly recycling pickup and compost bins as part of the deal. The sizes are 35 gallons, which fits two to three tall kitchen bags, for $9 a month; 65 gallons, which fits four to five bags, for $13 a month; and 95 gallons, which fits seven to eight bags, for $21 a month.
“It takes significantly less energy to recycle materials, and it's a way to make stronger supply chains and build a strong, local green economy,” Call says. “Based on studies we've seen, weekly recycling pick-up should boost our waste-diversion rate and also be more convenient for Denverites.” Chris Herndon, along with Kevin Flynn, Debbie Ortega, Candi CdeBaca and Stacie Gilmore, voted against the proposal. Most of the opponents expressed concerns about increasing the cost of services when the cost of living for Denver residents is on the rise.
