The Dec. 16 announcement by Santa Rosa County that recycling services would no longer be available led to a community outcry for the county to find a resolution. The past agreement was for waste service providers to pick up customers’ recycling at curbside and transport it to Central Landfill for pick-up by Emerald Coast Utilities Authority to transport it to a recycle processing center. ECUA did not charge the county for transportation of the recyclables and the county did not receive any proceeds from the recyclables given to ECUA.
