In July, the City of Concord recorded a 46 percent increase, compared to the July 2010 recycling reports, and an increase of 62 percent over June’s figures. Ease of use, provided by the new roll-out carts, and an expanded list of acceptable items, is believed by the City to have made the large increases possible. Waste Pro took over recycling collection on July 1^st.

“When the City Council approved the service improvements, they felt citizens would like the convenience of a roll-out cart and appreciate the opportunity to recycle so many additional items,” said Concord Mayor Scott Padgett. “Concord citizens have quickly learned the new system and our staff have worked hard to minimize the adjustment.”

The new user friendly, 96 gallon recycling carts are black, with a lid to minimize neighborhood littering, and can be easily wheeled to the curb. Carts may be filled with plastics labeled 1 through 7, milk and juice cartons, shredded paper, juice boxes, and aerosol cans. Carts should be placed curbside by 7 a.m., with wheels facing your home, and 2 feet of operating clearance space between carts or other objects, such as cars, fire hydrants, mailboxes, etc.
