Q&A: City looks for temporary recycling options

May 12, 2021

Recycling options under exploration

Any word on the recycle center?

The City of Bartlesville’s drop-off recycle center remains closed due to the fire at Tulsa Recycling and Transfer Center last month. The City transfers recyclable materials dropped off at the local center to TRT for processing. Therefore, the City’s center, located at 10th Street and Virginia Avenue, will remain closed until TRT reopens. As of today, TRT has not notified the City of a potential opening date.

City staff members are exploring other options to better assist local recyclers during the TRT shut-down. Any changes in the City’s recycle operations will be announced in City Beat and/or on the City of Bartlesville GOV Facebook page and the City’s website, www.cityofbartlesville.org. Information will also be provided to local media resources.
