@Me;;;; Me, they are taking all the valuables you put in your recycle can straight to the landfill with the rest of the trash. It’s so valuable that they continue to run separate trucks to get it there too.

So……what is being done with what we put out for recycle? What are they doing with it? Asking for a friend.

What happened to good old American ingenuity? Surely some local contractor, an at home workshop mechanic or a deft smart individual could have come up with a temporary fix in a matter of a few days.

Like everything else the part are probably coming from China.

Meanwhile, the ECUA is still running the recycling trucks, and the regular garbage trucks on every route. Just pick it all up in the same truck, and save the wear and tear on equipment, This simple act of parking half the trucks until the recycling center is up and running would also work to lower the “carbon footprint” of ECUA operations. How about for once the ECUA shows and little common sense.

A Alex, you’re talking like ECUA is run by people with common sense, lol .ECUA is run by a bunch of stupid politicians who love to waste taxpayer money on business trips and training seminars. Not sure what they are training for, it’s certainly not to be able to think ahead and plan on things wearing out. All of this, and the voters of Escambia County continue to reelect them. Crazy. Just a thought…..do we pay for the coffee they drink in the morning, or is that “office supplies?”
