Normal Adopts Mandatory Recycling Ordinance

All landlords in the town of Normal will soon have to have recycling bins. The town council last night adopted a plan to require recycling at all apartment buildings, mobile home parks, and student housing. Councilman R.C. McBride says the idea is expand the town's voluntary recycling program. Opponents say the mandate is heavy handed and doesn't take into account the cost that landlords and tenants will eventually pay.
