Hope Mills Town Manager Melissa Adams has notified residents that the town will resume its recycling program on June 17.

Recyclable items should be separated from daily trash and placed in the green bins with the yellow bins and taken to the curb on your normal recycling day. From there, it will be picked up by Waste Management and taken to the recycling center.

Trash containing non-recyclables should be placed in the larger solid green containers. Those containers should be taken roadside on your normal trash collection day.

Household trash will be hauled to the local dump.

On April 6, Hope Mills residents were informed that the community recycling program would be stopped until further notice.

Instead of placing recyclables in the green cans with the yellow lids, residents were instructed to use both bins for trash and that both would be hauled to directly to the dump.

Residents were given the option to haul their own recyclable material to the recycling center if they wished to do so.

The recycling service was temporarily halted on April 13.

In a recent memorandum, Town Manager Adams said that the return to the recycling program is another step in the easing of restrictions during Phase 2 protocols for COVID-19.

“We look forward to resuming recycling collections and will continue to assess other activities that have been temporarily discontinued as further guidance is issued by our governing bodies,” Adams writes.
