New Replenysh host site open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays
The City Recycle Center is open, effective Nov. 15, after being closed for several months due to a fire at Tulsa Recycle & Transfer, the company that previously sorted and processed items dropped off at the City-owned center, located at 10th Street and Virginia Avenue.
The City Recycle Center will now serve as a permanent “host site” for Replenysh, a California-based company responsible for the recent expansion of local recycling options for Bartlesville residents.
The center is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Replenysh launched its recycling program in Bartlesville on Oct. 23 by holding a public recycling event at the City-owned Lee Lake Complex, located at 2700 S.E. Adams Blvd. Other host sites for public events have been added to the list of recycling options as well, which are available on Replenysh’s Bartlesville Facebook page.
The company will collect items from the center on an “as needed” basis and will then process and sell the items, returning a small portion of the revenue to the City, as it does other host sites.
While accepted items may vary from one host site to another, items accepted at the City Recycle Center are:
- Plastic PET #1 containers
- Plastic PET #1 thermoforms
- Plastic HDPE #2 containers
- Aluminum cans
- Steel cans
- Cardboard
