Title
Creating Sec. 10.18(7)(a)8., repealing Sec. 10.18(7)(c), and amending Sec. 10.18(7)(e) of the Madison General Ordinances to require the recycling of directories.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance creates paragraph 10.18(7)(a)8. and amends subsection 10.18(7)(e) to require that recyclable directories, such as commercial phone books provided to residential and business customers of phone companies, be recycled. Currently, such directories are capable of being recycled and many residents do recycle these directories, but recycling is not required. This ordinance change specifically imposes this requirement as a means to reduce the disposal of these large recyclable items in the general waste stream. In addition, this ordinance allows for the Street Superintendent or designee to determine which directories are recyclable, thereby providing flexibility to the Streets Division to include directories whose recyclability is not currently known. Finally, this ordinance deletes subdivision 10.18(7)(c) regarding curbside newsprint collection as that provision is no longer applicable as newsprint is now covered by the recyclable waste requirements of subdivision 10.18(7)(e).
