Outagamie County is extending a contract with its recycling pickup company, and new trucks will be hitting the roads soon.
County Recycling and Resource Recovery Administrator Joanne Gorski says Orion Waste Solutions will also study the most common non-recyclable items people are putting in their carts.
She says plastic bags are an issue, because they jam their sorting machine. They’re planning an educational campaign about items like that.
The county handles recycling pickup for 27 of the 32 communities in the county.
