Denver City Council is considering an overhaul of its recycling and waste programs. Residents would be charged for their trash, but they would get recycling and compost picked up every week. Supporters heard concerns about the changes for the first time in a session in front of the City Council. Many residents are worried about loading on new fees when it's already getting more and more expensive to live in Denver. Journalism Resident Margaret Fleming talks to reporter Michael Booth, who covers health, health policy and the environment, about some of the opposition to the proposed program and where it goes from here.
