Residents of Moore, Oklahoma will have another chance to vote on a curbside recycling proposal this week. If passed, Moore will begin to prepare customers on the program details and roll-out process.

If passed, the program may begin within four to six months of the election day.

The initial rate for bi-weekly residential curbside recycling will be $3.90 per month, with a 2% increase each year for years two through five. However, citizens have expressed concerns that Republic, the company providing the service, reserves the right to raise the cost above the 2% annual increase listed in the ballot.

Moore city government promises that the resident rate will not exceed the proposed 2% rate and the rest if the potential costs will be negotiated by the city.

In 2016, Moore voters refused a similar proposal by a slight margin.
