(From the City of Joplin)
The City of Joplin invites all residents to join in a Ribbon Cutting ceremony at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, July 6 to recognize the start of residential curbside recycling in Joplin. The event will be held at the home of Christina Williams and Samuel Wimsett, 2602 South Kingsdale Avenue.
The family currently recycles and take their items to the Joplin Recycling Center on a regular basis. They were one of the first households to sign up for curbside recycling. Williams also serves on the Solid Waste Advisory Commission.
City officials will join the Williams family, along with the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors and representatives from Republic Services, Inc., the contractor providing this service.
“We are thrilled to have this service coming to Joplin,” said Christina Williams. “We know of so many other cities offering this convenience to their residents and are pleased that Joplin has joined this group.”
“Big Al”, the mascot for Joplin Recycling Center will also be attending this event, and refreshments will be available.
Curbside recycling will begin on June 1 for all residents who have signed up for this service. It is available to all Joplin residents living in single-family or duplex homes at a fee of $4.75 per month in addition to the regular trash rate of $11.73, for a total of $16.48.
Each resident who chooses to participate will receive a 96-gallon container with a light blue lid for their recyclables. Containers will be picked up one time per week on your regular trash day. Please remember that even though services are on the same day, a different truck at a different time will pick up recyclables.
