Tuesday, March 18 the City of West Monroe Hosted a ribbon cutting for the expansion of the West Monroe Recycling Center.
The ribbon cutting coincided with “Global Recycling Day,” a day dedicated to promoting the importance of recycling and its benefits to the environment.
The expanded recycling center opened to the public in February. The expanded facility includes a classroom space for educational outreach. The mobile recycle trailer and additional equipment were made possible through an EPA “SWIFR” grant awarded to the city for the expansion of recycling services.
The West Monroe Recycling Center first opened to the public in late summer 2018. The facility provides a free recycling drop-off service to the general public. The center is open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. A mobile recycling trailer is located in the parking lot of West Monroe City Hall on Mondays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and in downtown West Monroe on Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
