City councilors showed support Thursday for a proposed new single-stream recycling pilot program but wondered how the city would determine whether it was successful.
Residents could recycle more types of items without sorting them from each other under the proposed new single-stream program.
The proposal, offered by Portland-based Ecomaine at the request of city officials, calls for installing covered roll-off recycling containers at the Hatch Hill landfill, Augusta City Center and the Public Works Department site on North Street.
