Recycling services in Santa Rosa County continue to be temporarily suspended. The Emerald Coast Utility Authority (ECUA) Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) has temporarily closed due to equipment malfunctions and supply chain issues related to repair parts. As a result, the MRF will not be able to receive recycling materials until further notice. Due to the temporary closure of the MRF, Waste Pro (franchised waste hauler for the county) recycling services will continue to be suspended until the facility reopens.
ECUA’s latest update projects the recycling facility reopening the week of Sept. 26. Citizens should continue to look for updates regarding recycling services as this schedule is subject to change based on the successful repair of ECUA’s facility.
