McLean County Backs Away From Recycling Mandate

Leaders in McLean County might not be ready to force landlords and business owners to recycle.  The county's land use committee yesterday refused to sign off on a proposal that would require apartment owners and businesses in the county to recycle cardboard, glass, plastic, and metal cans.  County board member Ryan Scritchlow says he has a problem with forcing landlords and business owners to do something.  Advocates say they want a recycling mandate to meet their goal to have 80-percent of people in the county participating in a recycling program.
