(KAIR)--The city of Atchison is one step closer to being able to move to a new method of recycling.
City Manager Trey Cocking traveled to Topeka Tuesday with Chamber of Commerce President Jacque Pregont, and Atchison resident Cindy Whitmer to testify in front of the Senate Local Government Committee regarding a bill that would allow the city to start the new recycling method one year sooner than is currently allowed by state law.
Cocking says the bill was passed out of the Senate committee and will now move to the full senate for a vote sometime in the next few weeks. If it does not pass, the city cannot move to the new single source recycling method until January 2016.
