HORN LAKE – The City of Horn Lake has yet to reach the minimum goal of 250 participants to begin its new recycling program by March 1 but Alderman Amy Lay said March is not a hard deadline and she is hopeful that the program will start by April.

I was out in the community this weekend at basketball games trying to get the word out and I realized that word just hasnt gotten around, Lay said. Ive had some people say, I absolutely planned on doing it but I didnt know it was time yet.

The recycling program is being done through Waste Connections who set a minimum of 250 participants in order to start the curbside pick-up.

Spencer Shields, director of the Horn Lake Utility Department, said they will put out door hangers this week to advertise the program.
