In an effort to increase recycling, Clark County, Nev., commissioners are considering a switch to single-stream recycling instead of the three-bin system residents currently use.

Backed by Republic Services, which handles trash and recycling for the county, a proposed ordinance would change trash collection from twice weekly to once a week and recycling collection from biweekly to once a week, the Las Vegas Sun reported. Residents would be provided with one bin for all of their recyclables.

The ordinance was introduced to the Clark County Commission Jan. 22. A public hearing on the matter was set for Feb. 5.
