Supervisor Eric Mar recognizes that San Francisco needs to take a look at the state of recycling in San Francisco. What is the plan? Is there a plan? Do we need a plan? Is there a price to be paid for closing neighborhood recycling centers? What are the benefits and who pays the price?

The Supervisor is holding a hearing on May 15th., room 250, at City Hall.

The meeting starts at 10 AM, but since the the agenda has not been determined as of yet, we cannot tell you just when this issue will be discussed. Check with his office the day before.

Expect to hear from small businesses, since they are facing daily fines, the Department of the Environment, (maybe they'll have a plan), the Coalition on Homelessness, and any of you who have concerns and/or ideas.

It is hoped legislation will follow.
