WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — Walla Walla residents have been good at recycling — too good.

The Union-Bulletin reports the company in charge of emptying the blue recycle bins is asking for the city council to approve a fee increase because tonnage of recycled material is 114 percent more than projected.

Basin Disposal Inc. wants the council to approve a rate increase for residential customers from $3.64 to $4.81 a month.
