Due to significant damage from Hurricane Sally at the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority's Materials Recycling Facility, recycling for City of Pensacola Sanitation customers is temporarily on hold.

City of Pensacola Sanitation Services Department uses ECUA's recycling facility to process recyclable materials from City Sanitation customers, and the facility is not accepting recyclables until further notice due to the damage sustained during the storm.

City of Pensacola Sanitation customers are asked to only use their black garbage cans until further notice since materials will not be recycled. 

Recycling is expected to resume late October, but will be dependent on when repairs to the facility are completed and ECUA is able to accept recyclable materials.

Please stay tuned to the City of Pensacola's website and Facebook page for updates on Hurricane Sally and impacts to city services.
