Jamestown  (CSi)  The start up of the Jamestown Residential Recycling program has been delayed until August 1, 2017.

At the Recycling informational meeting, on Wednesday morning at City Hall, Recycling Center of North Dakota, LLC formerly Renaissance Recycling, Manager Ralph Friebel said the later start up stems from the City of Jamestown being notified of a delay in receiving the new trucks that will allow automated pick up of both recycle and garbage bins.

He indicated that the city’s automated garbage pick up will also be delayed for the same reason, with the implementation date to be announced.

When fully implemented the garbage pick up will remain on the same day on a weekly basis, and the recycling bin contents will be picked up the same day as the garbage, but every other week.

The delay will have no effect on the present city collection of garbage.

Wednesday morning’s meeting was shown live on CSi 67 and replay showing dates will be announced.
