Summary
Staff informed council the city'wide mandatory curbside recycling cost for next year will be $35,459.16, explained participation rates (about 15% participation cited) and urged residents to use drop-off and sign up for bins at City Hall.
City staff notified council of the 2025 curbside recycling service cost for Lock Haven residents: $35,459.16. The presenter said state reimbursement depends on participation and that the city currently sees about a 15% participation rate, meaning most of the cost is borne locally. Staff encouraged residents to pick up free green bins at City Hall and to increase participation to maximize reimbursement.
Officials explained drop-off center tonnage and curbside collection both factor into state reimbursement and said that larger multi-unit residential buildings must provide commercial recycling arrangements per state rules.
