When does recycling return in Manatee County after Hurricane Ian? Here’s the latest
After being put on pause for more than two weeks while Manatee County residents braced for and recovered from Hurricane Ian, recycling collection will return Monday, Oct. 17.
Manatee County residents can expect recycling pickup routes to resume on their normal collection days, according to Bill Logan, the county’s information outreach manager.
Recycling collection was temporarily suspended to allow workers to prioritize garbage and storm debris collection.
County officials say debris from the hurricane, such as tree branches and appliances destroyed by flooding, is still being collected by several contractors working throughout the county.
The return of recycling collection only applies to residents who pay Manatee County for utilities, not residents who live in the city of Bradenton, where curbside recycling pickup has been suspended until further notice.
