Unless there is a court order instructing it otherwise, McLeod County will continue its five-sort recycling program in Glencoe, County Commissioner Sheldon Nies told the Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC) Monday morning.
The city of Glencoe recently started a single-sort program — in which all recyclables can be mixed in one container — under a contract with Waste Management, Inc.
McLeod County, meanwhile, intends to honor the contract it has with West Central Sanitation to provide a five-sort curbside program to county residents, including those in the city of Glencoe.

The proposed expenditures are $16.3 million, and the projected revenues are $15.4 million, depending on what happens with education funding at the state Legislature.
With the current general fund balance at $5.9 million, the next school year will begin with $5.3 million in reserve, or about 33 percent of the budget. The proposed 2013-14 budget would reduce the fund balance to $4.4 million, or 27 percent.
