Since we last communicated with you on the subject of recycling collection, there has been a change that impacts your community. This week we have been informed that Republic Services is again able to receive our recycling material after an upgrade to their facility was recently completed. This will allow us to have a guaranteed facility to accept your recycling materials (assuming they do not stop accepting our material again).
We also wanted to take the time to ask you to emphasize with your homeowners that plastic bags should not placed with recycling nor should they be used to contain recycling materials. They clog the screening equipment in the recycling facilities and cause significant slowdowns in the sorting process.
As you likely have seen in the news recently, U. S. recycling markets have a long way to go to recover from the impacts of China’s import ban but over time the markets should adjust and create domestic demand for our materials.
We appreciate your patience in these difficult times and look forward to managing your solid waste and disposal needs.
