and pointed out that as of Friday nearly 700 recycling carts had been distributed in Jamestown, with all carts delivered by Friday March 16th.

He added that the recycling containers are somewhat mis-shaped, due to the cold temperatures, saying that they will spring into shape when the weather warms up.

Recycling  collections begin on Monday April 2nd.   At that time the City of Jamestown will also start using the automated collection trucks for pick up of garbage and recycling materials.   The garbage container, and the recycling container have to be placed next to each other no closer than four feet apart, and that each cart cover must be fully closed, and no garbage bags be placed on the ground.

There will be alley pick up of recycled materials, if that’s where the garbage is collected.

No glass is to be put in the recycling carts, but is still being collected at the recycling center.

He said the recycling carts will come with an information packet.

That will include a welcome letter, cart maintenance,  a map showing the pick up days and dates, with the city divided so the recycling truck comes by every other week to the residence, on the garbage collection day of the week.

Also included will be a calendar showing a one year recycling pick up schedule.

Also included in the packet will be a magnetic list that shows what items can and cannot be recycled.

He added that the recycling center will continue to have the current days and hours of operation until April 2nd:  Tuesday and Thursday 9-a.m. to 6-p.m. and Saturday from 9-a.m., to 2-p.m.

On April 2nd the plan is to have the recycling center open everyday, but open shorter hours.

The center accommodates those out of town residents who recycle.

He says the recycling center’s move to the former Coke plant is expected in about two months.
