Recycle center to be open seven days

Sisters' recycle center will be manned and open seven days a week starting July 1.

The planned three-month trial will start in July, not June 1 as earlier planned, due to a mixup at city hall.

In the meantime, surveys distributed throughout Sisters Country in High Country Disposal's (HCD) bills have begun to pour in to city hall. Results of these surveys will be used along with the data from the three-month trial to determine the next steps for the recycle center.

At last Thursday's council workshop it was suggested that HCD be asked to provide monthly reports on hauling costs and recyclable revenue during this trial period. City staff was asked to submit a monthly log of time spent at the recycle center that includes data on contamination, and illegal dumping.

The recycle center is currently open Friday-Monday.
