This month marks one year since the Vandalia City Council approved the addition of a $1.25 fee to all City of Vandalia water customer bills to be used for recycling in the city. In July 2017, the council, by a 5-3 vote, approved for $1 to go to FAYCO for its recycling facility with the other $0.25 going to the Fayette County Soil and Water Conservation District for electronic recycling. During Monday night’s council meeting, Alderman Kenneth Hubler informed the rest of the council that he had requested representatives from both agencies be in attendance for a meeting later this month and also requested information on the program from the last year.
As Hubler stated, the meeting will be held on July 16 at 6:30pm in the Vandalia City Council chambers.
