By JEFF MONTGOMERY • The News Journal • January 6, 2010

Curbside recycling would become a mandatory part of all trash hauler services statewide under a Markell administration proposal to cut through political snarls that have blocked recycling and bottle-deposit law reforms for decades.

Gov. Jack Markell said recycling would remain voluntary for homes and businesses under the proposal, unlikely to take full effect before late 2011. But the governor said he would seek approval this year, and said the state should tap proceeds from a dysfunctional bottle-deposit program to subsidize initial program costs.

"The plan I'm putting forward is comprehensive and practical. It's designed to significantly increase recycling, to reduce the burden on businesses, to create jobs and to minimize waste costs," Markell said as supportive legislators, waste haulers and environmental group representatives looked on.

Delaware's large private waste haulers and the Delaware Solid Waste Authority have publicly endorsed the idea, as have some environmental group leaders. The show of solidarity capped more than 30 years of see-saw battling over waste and recycling policies and years of snail-paced gains in efforts to divert trash from landfills.

Of course they have, another cash cow for them. I would suspect that the environmental groups have some hidden agenda also, but for the moment, i don't know what it could be.

I would imagine that pickup rates will increase....plus you'll have more trash trucks through your neighborhood. My guess is that this is an effort to get DSWA out of the pick-up business.

If you are using the bin located around NCC, I hear, but can't confirm that they may be getting rid of them.

That would stink if they took away that option and wrapped the cost into my trash bill. I am recycling but I'm not crazy about paying to do it.

It would more than stink, I can not verify yet what I said though.

Some areas, when recycling started off charged you for your garbage bags that you had to buy from them, Recycling was free, don't know if that is still true anywhere.
