We told you earlier this month when a special Jacksonville City Council committee was appointed to investigate the recycling issue, months after the suspension started in October and drop-off sites opened up.
Residents continued to voice their concerns in December, which got the ball rolling for members of the City Council to hold town halls and public meetings to discuss the issues.
