ROCKFORD — You can put your blue bins back on the curb starting Monday.

Recycling in the city will resume next week after a two-week suspension that took place because the city’s waste hauler was dealing with a staffing shortage caused by multiple cases of the coronavirus.

For the past two weeks, any material put in blue bins was thrown away with the trash.

The city announced Friday that pickup would resume as normal.
