The Lincoln City Council delayed for two weeks a decision on a three-year contract for recycling research and marketing after a number of citizens questioned the $850,000 cost.
Under the contract, two Nebraska companies, Carson+Co Global and Verdis Group, would promote recycling in anticipation of the ban on corrugated cardboard in the city landfill next spring.
The companies would first research the reasons why Lincoln residents and businesses recycle or don’t recycle and use that research in a marketing campaign, according to information presented to the council.
