Logan City Axes Extra Holiday Recycling

USDA.gov

Holiday time means presents, parties and lots of recyclable waste. This holiday season the City of Logan, however, won’t be offering extra recycling pickups as it has in the past. Typically, blue recycle bins in the city are emptied every other week and once a week during holiday time, but as Logan City’s Emily Malik put it, there just isn’t enough demand to warrant the extra collections.

“I do think they had felt for several years that it wasn’t well utilized and just created more confusion than it was necessary for people,” Malik said.

Following last year’s holiday season the decision was made to ax the extra collections. Malik said participation in the program had been declining since it began in 2007, the same year the blue recycle bins were added to waste collection efforts across the city.

Logan City does have tree recycling programs in place. Visit their website to learn about drop-off locations.
