"The act of approving a mandatory 'blue carts' type recycling program would prove to the State that the City is serious in its desire to improve quality of life and address environmental issues," the grand jury wrote in its report, which it released Thursday and distributed Monday.
The City Council considered but rejected a move toward mandatory recycling Nov. 7. The jury's committee investigated the issue in late October, according to the report.
