No changes are planned for the City of Bartlesville’s recycling program following an announcement that Oklahoma company American Waste Control will discontinue its recycling operations in Bartlesville.
AWC announced recently that it will no longer operate a recycling program in Bartlesville, prompting questions about the City of Bartlesville’s long-standing program.
“The City of Bartlesville has operated its own recycling program, independent of other efforts, for several years. There are no changes planned for that program,” said Chief Communications Officer Kelli Williams.
Recyclables may be taken to the City’s recycle center at 10th Street and Virginia Avenue. The site is open 6:30 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 6:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The center is closed on Sundays and holidays.
