(KAIR)--Kansas legislators are moving quickly to pass a bill that would allow the city of Atchison to move to a new method of recycling quicker than originally planned. City Manager Trey Cocking says the bill, which will allow Atchison to offer a single source, curbside recycling method one year sooner than planned, left the House Local Government Committee on Tuesday and made its way to the floor of the House.
Cocking says he hopes the bill can be voted on by the House by the end of the week. From there, it would move to the State Senate to repeat the process.
If the bill does not pass, the city cannot move to the new recycling method until January 2016.
