New law will require bar, restaurant owners to recycle

WILMINGTON — Beginning in January a new state law will require bar and restaurant owners to recycle glass and aluminum alcohol containers.

The city of Wilmington will provide businesses with the recycling bins, but owners must pay for the pick-up service.

While many say the recycling is a good idea, it also brings up some concerns.

Bar owners will have the month of January to adjust to the new law. Alcohol law enforcement agents will start fining violators in February.
