Changes begin on city's recycling program

The company responsible for managing the city's recycling collection program launched an initiative Monday to streamline its service in Mountain Home.

Republic Service, formerly known as Allied Waste, added the city to its list of communities using this new process.

Starting this week, the company began replacing its existing blue recycling bins with 95-gallon bins identical to the gray trash bins already in use by participating communities. People may also opt for smaller recycling containers if they want.
