The city plans to change the details of its recycling program yet again because bins at its drop-off location on Gracelawn Road have been left overflowing on weekends. City Manager Phil Crowell said the program will now have certain hours of operation, and likely reduced hours on weekends due to issues with the drop-off system at the Public Works facility. He said while the city has been working with recycling contractor Casella on the new-look program, the Casella facility is not open on weekends. However, that’s when most people have been bringing material to the drop-off containers, leading to full bins and complaints from residents that they are not able to drop material.
