Recycling more accessible at Boulder transfer site

Recycling services have expanded and become more accessible at the Boulder transfer site after Jefferson County Solid Waste chose to move the existing containers to a more visible and manageable location last month.

Jefferson County Solid Waste Director Mike Myers brought back the tin can recycling container as part of the change to prevent residents from throwing them away.

Prior to the move, transfer site users confused the bins with garbage disposal cans, requiring workers to separate the materials before transporting it to the recycling facility. Myers said the move places the bins where site attendants can supervise their use to prevent this from happening.
