LINCOLN

The Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency announces its newest partnership with the Lincoln Big R Store to provide recycling services to residents residing outside the Lincoln city limits. The City of Lincoln’s municipal garbage/curbside recycling contract with Area Disposal began March 1st and as a result the Lincoln recycling bins that were located in the city parking lot on Kickapoo Street have been removed.

In an effort to provide recycling services to those household outside the city limits, the Agency has purchased two bins to provide recycling of co-mingled plastics/metals and paper materials; the bins have been placed in the parking lot of the Lincoln Big R Store adjacent to Woodlawn Road.

The recycling guidelines for acceptable materials remain unchanged and recyclers are reminded not to place glass, plastic bags or corrugated cardboard in the bins. The recycling bins are for residential recycling only and commercial, landscape, construction or agricultural materials are not accepted.

Recyclers are reminded to empty materials loose into the bins and not to overload the bins - making sure the lids close. Do not leave any materials on the ground where it can be blown around the parking lot. The recycling bins will be emptied weekly by the Agency using its collection truck. When recycling remember – if in doubt, leave it out.

The Agency asks for your assistance and cooperation as this newest recycling site is launched. If you have any questions regarding recycling guidelines or other recycling opportunities offered by the Agency, please contact Mitzi Rohlfs, LCJSWA Coordinator at 217-737-7927.
