   Wow….we have re-cycling bins throughout the county, for the North end residents…and there isn’t one in Cantonment (proper)! I have been asking for a bin to be located at our local fire station….very convienent for most of the locals…still hasn’t happened….the closest one for some of us is Molino,which is North, 8 miles….next one? Stephani Rd, South, 12 miles away. It is the one I currently use, because I care to re-cycle. Some of the residents are on fixed incomes and very tight budgets…..sigh, government……

   leftout- yes, no longer from Bratt is correct. I was providing the information that you have free curbside pick-up services for recycling available to you from ECUA. These curbside recycling services are available to all ECUA customers as part of residential sanitaiton service. Our residential sanitation service includes all of Escambia County EXCEPT the City of Pensacola and the Town of Century, both of whom have their own sanitation collection departments.

   The drop-off recycling containers mentioned in the first part of the article are part of the Escambia County’s Division of Solid Waste recycling program, and have nothing to do with the ECUA. We are a separate agency– and we are both here to provide services to the residents of Escambia County.

   Re: Notagain

   Seriously! the first you list is in Beulah, look on a map. I know this is petty so I will just let it go. Poor Cantonment

   Let’s have some service in Davisville, Walnut Hill and Nokomis and yes I do mean the Nokomis in Northern Escambia Co FLORIDA. Talk about forgotten and left out! Cantonment is not North! it is the middle. Remember Esc. Co goes all the way to the Alabama State Line. We pay taxes too. By the way “us rednecks” have known for a long, long time that no one thinks we matter.

   There’re no recycling sties in Cantonment?

   Escambia County Extension Service, 3740 Stefani Road, Cantonment

   Wait, it looks like there are some after all.

   leftout…I think Mr. Bowers is telling you that you have curbside recycle service. You don’t have to take your recycle anywhere….they will come pick it up from your curb.
   What are you complaining about?
   That Ensley and Molino have big green recycle dumpsters?
   Don’t fret the small stuff…
   Take your recycle out the curb in the recycle canister and be thankful that you don’t have to load it in your car to take it to the big green recyle dumpter.

   Re: Nathalie Bowers, ECUA Public Information Officer

   Do you understand it is about being bypassed all the time by not just your company but other county offices? Isn’t the same services you mentioned available in Molino and Ensley? If so why put recycling locations in those areas. I am just asking to throw us a bone every now and then. I have an idea, put the recycle in Cantonment and don’t put one in Ensley and let them drive to us, this is what you are asking us to do.

In addition, we offer free pickup of bulk waste (couches, appliances, etc) and Household hazardous waste (HHW) recycling as part of the recycling program.

    Do you think the county will ever acknowledge Cantonment. Ok lets go to Molino or Ensley those red necks will never figure out we don’t think they matter! Seriously we are one of the fastest growing districts but get the least amount of respect.

    I have been recycling for a very long time, most of which required that I take the glass, plastic, cans, etc. somewhere. Sometimes that was very time intensive, but well worth it! This is definitely a step in the right direction for those who don’t have it at the curb or if they don’t take some things there. Please recycle everything you can! If you think it isn’t worth it, watch “The Secret Life of Garbage” online or on TV if they show it. It will open your eyes to the damage we are causing the oceans and the environment!
