Curbside recycling discontinued
The importance and the benefits of recycling have not changed. However, other factors have changed, and so the methods in which recyclable materials are collected and sorted must also evolve. Thus, Rolla will be seeing some changes to the recycling program. The Rolla City Council recently voted unanimously to discontinue the residential curbside recycling service due to an ongoing shortage of manpower, as well as economic considerations. This service will be discontinued in Rolla effective April 2, 2022. The final week of collection will be March 28 - April 1, 2022. For all the benefits that come from recycling, residents are encouraged to continue to recycle using the drop-off recycling center located on Old Saint James Road. The recycling center is accessible for drop-off 24/7. The blue recycling bins remain the property of the City and residents that have them are encouraged to use them to haul their recyclables to the recycling center. Residents that wish to return the blue bin to the City can contact the Environmental Services Department at waste@rollacity.gov or 364-6693.
Other metals can be recycled at local metal dealers.
