In April, the Mobile, Ala., City Council reviewed Mayor Sandy Stimpson’s proposed single stream recycling plan and two recycling contracts, which raised concerns that the proposed plan could lead to legal difficulty between Mobile’s Solid Waste Authority and the city’s hauler Waste Management.
Now, the vote on Stimpson’s proposed recycling plan has been postponed until June 20, allowing more time for the raised concerns to be clarified.

A City Council vote on a Stimpson administration plan to revamp Mobile's recycling program has been postponed until next month.
Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson has strongly advocated for the proposal, arguing that a single-stream recycling process, meaning one that doesn't require patrons to separate their various recyclable materials, would help improve the percentage of waste that Mobile recycles. City officials also have said they want to establish collection sites throughout the city.
