WLUC, Negaunee, Michigan, reports that Hancock Michigan has chosen Houston-based Waste Management to provide residents with curbside recycling.

Curbside recycling and trash will be collected weekly, and is tentatively scheduled to begin Sept. 12, 2016. City Manager Glenn Anderson told WLUC the new contract would save Hancock $50,000 per year.

“So we’re accomplishing saving money plus offering more services,” Anderson said in the article. “Right now, we have about 25 percent of our residents that recycle [and] we would expect that go up higher because of the convenience of weekly recycling.”

The city council also received proposals from Eagle Waste, Eagle River, Wisconsin, and from Great American Disposal, Marquette, Michigan.
