When the Edna City Council entered into a contract a year ago with Republic Services for garbage disposal for city residents, the option to start curbside recycling was discussed.
Members of the National Junior Society at Edna Junior High had asked council members to consider offering recycling in the city. The students said they would help encourage the customers to support recycling.
The city sent out a survey to its trash customers to see if they would prefer curbside recycling or a central recycling location. Of the 1,800 questionnaires mailed, 356 responded and 225 said they preferred curbside recycling while 213 said they would take their recyclables to a central location.
