News | What can I recycle?
The Environmental Services Department consists of the Sanitation, Recycling, and Vehicle
Maintenance divisions. The Sanitation Division is responsible for all regular
Municipal trash pick-up service, for both residential and commercial customers.
Sanitation also offers rental of construction dumpster's for contractors or large do-it-yourself jobs, and special pickups of appliances and other large or unusual items.
The Recycling Division offers both drop-off and regular pick-up of a wide variety of recyclable materials from its headquarters on Old St. James Road. Drop off service at the Recycling Center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Recycling Center accepts various types of plastic, glass, paper, aluminum and tin cans, and cardboard. Sorting and processing of these materials takes place on site, and the resulting material is then sold on the open market. Approximately 3,000 tons of waste per year is kept out of landfills and returned to usable consumer forms through the efforts of the Recycling Division.
In addition to these two large divisions, the Environmental Services Department is also responsible for the operation of the City's central Vehicle Maintenance shop, which services City vehicles from all City departments.
Municipal waste collected by the department is hauled to the Phelps County Transfer Station, located at 12441 County Road 2170, Rolla. The Transfer Station is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
For more information on the Transfer Station, or any other services offered by the Department, please call the Environmental Services office at 364-6693.
