Based on changes in the collection, processing, and marketing systems of recycling, Monroe County has worked with the operator of the Monroe County Recycling Center, Waste Management, to update the list of acceptable materials. These updated recycling guidelines will go into effect on November 1, 2018. We estimate that the Monroe County Recycling Center serves approximately 75% of residents in the county, but not all private collection companies utilize this facility, so residents are encouraged to follow the guidelines of their hauler. Refer to the Monroe County “Recycle Right” flyer for details.
