The Recycling Center yard itself, for residential recycling, will remain open from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., but starting this week, the Recycling Department office will be closed from 11:15 a.m. – 12:00 noon on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Leaf bag and recycling bin purchases, mulch delivery orders, and electronics disposal services will not be available during this 45-minute time period. Saturdays the office will remain open continuously from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. “Because Saturday is by far the biggest day for recycle visits,” explained Recycling Foreman Bart Carey.
Although the Recycle Center yard remains accessible to residents from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Monday through Saturday, the office is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays so that staff can sort the cardboard, paper and co-mingle that arrives on Saturdays.
The yard waste drop off area, farther north on Hunts Lane, will remain open from Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. continuously.

If you arrive during this lunch period on Wed-Thu-Fri, the big blue book bins are always there to browse through.
