NORTH SALT LAKE — Though the forms are stacking up and the opt-out period still has nearly another month to go, North Salt Lake’s recycling program still looks strong enough to move ahead.

The city has received more than 100 opt-out forms since the opt-out period began on Oct. 16, but that’s still far short of the 850 that would amount to 25 percent of those currently receiving garbage service from the city. If that number is reached the city council may consider not to continue ahead with the program, but several hundred more would need to come in before that possibility was considered.

“It’s been kind of amazing,” said North Salt Lake City Recorder Larae Dillingham. “The number has slowed down somewhat since October. A lot of them came in right at the first.”

The curbside recycling program is currently scheduled to start sometime next March. The price won’t be officially set until the city knows how many residents are participating in the program, but it is expected to be approximately $4 a month.

North Salt Lake’s opt-out period continues until Nov. 25. Opt-out forms are available online at www.nslcity.org, at city hall, and in the most recent city newsletter.
