Summary
Residents who say the five-gallon recycling buckets are too small could soon get bigger containers through a $67,500 state-funded pilot in one neighborhood (Fernway), with the city contributing $22,500. If the grant isn't awarded, the purchase won't happen — a change made after a committee member's objection.
