The Sykesville Recycling Committee will present its curbside recycling proposal at the Aug. 8 Town Council meeting.

"We plan to continue with our curbside recycling plans and stay at twice-weekly trash pickup," said Councilwoman Julie A. Kaus, who chairs the committee.

Ms. Kaus said she has received many positive comments on the proposal, which will be available to town residents only.

Plans call for a twice-monthly collection of recyclables. Haulers will pick up the recyclables from half the town on alternate Wednesdays. Jennifer Way will be the dividing line between pickup areas.

Committee members met Monday to finalize details for the curbside program, tentatively set to begin Oct. 1. Ms. Kaus said homeowners will be mailed a schedule and information on the program.
