R.H. Estates : Recycling Machine Hearing

The City Council will hold a public hearing Jan. 27 on a proposal to set up an aluminum can recycling machine at the Peninsula Center.

The machine, which would be installed and maintained by Creative Technology Inc. of Scottsdale, Ariz., would weigh the cans and pay their current market value per pound.

The council this week appealed the Planning Commission’s approval of the machine because of questions about operation and liability insurance.

If the council approves, the machine could be installed within a month, Planning Director Stephen A. Emslie said.
