LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln residents have gathered to discuss a proposal that would ban paper products from the city landfill.

Residents discussed Mayor Chris Beutler’s recycling plan during a three-hour public hearing Monday night.

The plan would allow business and homeowners to either take their paper products to the city’s free recycling sites or hire curbside recycling services. They city would ban corrugated cardboard from the landfill beginning in April 2017, restrict newspapers in 2018 and forbid other paper products in 2019.

The plan got passionate support from dozens of residents who believe recycling is an important moral duty that’ll promote a more livable environment. But it received equally passionate opposition from business owners who said it’ll raise housing costs for poor people and create a nightmare for landlords.
