ECUA Adds Hundreds Of New Customers, Recycling Continues To Grow

February 12, 2009

The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority recycling program continues to become more popular, and large numbers of people are signing up for ECUA service for the first time.

ECUA originally had  62,000 residential waste customers before adding 11,000 Allied customers on January 1. Since the first of the year, another 1,300 customers have signed up for ECUA service for the first time.

“Apparently, 1300 households that had refused to do business with Allied have seen fit to sign up with ECUA,” Larry Walker, ECUA District 5 member, said, adding that the number is increasing daily.

About 29 percent of those ECUA customers have signed up to participate in the voluntary curbside recycling program. There have been about 22,000 recycling containers delivered, Walker said.

    So far the service from ECUA has been superior. They have excellent communications skills. We signed up for the recycling program. My only regret is that they do not take glass. That’s confusing considering I can dump it behind the Molino Fire Station. I wonder why I cannot recycle glass from my home.
