The Recycling & Energy Center (R&E Center) has plans in place to address COVID-19 and ensure that the R&E Center remains operational. Trash collection and management is an essential public service, like other utilities, and the R&E Center is a key part of that service in the region. The R&E Center will remain open for waste deliveries, with operations adjusted as necessary to respond to this changing situation.

Please wear a mask if you are in proximity to staff or other waste haulers at the R&E Center.
