The City of Independence announces a significant enhancement to its community recycling program. In partnership with Kluesner Sanitation, a new, comprehensive recycling center will be opening for all City of Independence residents. The new recycling center was operational Monday, November 17. It is located at 2395 Jamestown Ave, the site of the former Bower’s Discount facility. For convenience, the new center will be available 24/7.
This new center represents a major step forward in the City’s sustainability efforts. Most notably, the facility will now accept glass recycling, a service that has long been requested by residents. Accepted glass items must be placed in the designated dumpster. (See the guide above for accepted and non-accepted items).
“This is a fantastic development for our community,” said City Manager Matthew R. Schmitz. “Our partnership with Kluesner Sanitation allows us to provide a more robust, single-location recycling solution while finally adding glass to our list of accepted materials. This new center will be more convenient for residents and will significantly increase our community’s ability to divert waste from the landfill”.
