Feb. 23 2022 and outdoors, nobody within 50 ft, and I still have to wear a mask? Hope these jokers get voted out of office.

Update: I've come to love this place. Walt, the attendant (at least on weekends) is a gem--he will get up in your business--but he genuinely wants to help and make sure the right stuff gets into the right spots! Just remember that they only take #1 & #2 plastics and he'll be your best friend. They couldn't have a more contentious employee. Clean & organized recycling center. However, I have driven by frequently on Saturday morning, and it has been closed (pre-Covid). That has been frustrating. It's also harder to enter & exit due to road construction--but hopefully that will be resolved soon. **It's very important to follow the rules, so that we don't loose this important service!**

Was just at the site. Walt, the attendant is great, but having to wear a mask when you are outside, 20 feet apart from other people is a joke. What kind of organization requires a mask on these conditions on November 2021? An organization that is clueless, could care less, and does what they. hope they get voted out but probably wont.

Questions & Answers

Why do I have to wear a mask to recycle cardboard?

Sorry for the inconvenience JJ. We take our pandemic lead from the DEP and the CDC. I just want to remind you are not required to use our recycling drop off site and can contact a waste hauler to collect at the curb.

Go to the site and the police/security will sign you up. They will check that your recycling drop-offs are in compliance with their rules. Then you will be approved to dispose of your recycling.

Why do we still have to wear a mask. It is outdoors, we are at least six feet away and most times more like 20 feet away. It's November 2021 and nobody requires a mask anymore but you guys.

The Waste Authority has contracts with the State of Pennsylvania for varoius services we provide for the public in which the state funds either in whole or part. The state requires any contractor to follow the mask requirements as set by the orders of the Governor. I hope this answers your question.

Who controls this center? The county or is it private?

The site is operated by the Monroe County Municipal Waste Management Authority a separate legal entity.
