MEEKER | The recycling location at the end of Third Street in Meeker is officially closed as of Dec. 31, 2019, but the Town of Meeker is continuing to support free recycling for residents through a new contract with Eagle River Waste Services.
Eagle River Waste Services was awarded the recycling bid late last year. Residents who previously dropped off recyclables at the Third Street site will now need to take items to Eagle River…
Here’s the good new/bad news of recycling. It’s free with reluctant financial support from city. New location is out of town and not on the way to anything, so more commitment to drop off stuff is needed. New vendor will take plastics and glass, not offered before. To get folks really engaged in hauling their recycling items, more education and more publicity is needed. We will see if this works!
