The fire: On Wednesday, December 28th, a fast-moving fire swept through Republic Services recycling center in Plano, leaving the city without the ability to handle and process our recyclables (so they would have to go to the landfill). However, we have some good news on that:
The City of Plano resumed processing recyclables on Tuesday, January 10. Republic Services notified the City it is using a temporary site until a permanent solution can be found. By resuming processing, the City will prevent approximately 90 tons a day of materials from going to the landfill.
