ECUA Takes Over Collections At Recycling Drop-Off Centers
May 9, 2017
Emerald Coast Utilities Authority has assumed collection of recyclables at all county drop-off centers.
ECUA has replaced the roll off-style containers with front end loading models. Site storage capacity will remain the same, and the frequency of collection will be adjusted, if needed. The different style containers will increase efficiency by allowing collection vehicles, powered by compressed natural gas, to transport more material with fewer trips.
Citizens are still able to access the containers as usual to drop off recyclables. In addition, the list of materials accepted at the drop-off centers has expanded from fiber only to include the following:
- Glass (any color)
- Newspaper & inserts
- Cardboard
- Magazines & catalogs
- Junk mail & envelopes
- Paper bags & phone books
- Colored papers
- Plastic milk jugs
- Aluminum cans & lids
- Cereal boxes
- Pizza boxes
- Tin/steel cans & lids
- Foil baking pans
- Tin foil
- Metal pots, pans
- Cardboard egg cartons
- Plastic bottles
- Pet food cans
- Dry pet food bags
- Plastics no. 1-7
- Plastic produce clamshells

- Baars Softball Field: 12950 Gulf Beach Highway, Pensacola
- ECUA Ellyson Campus (between the old airplane hangar and the ECUA Water Quality Laboratory): 9255 Sturdevant Street, Pensacola

I am glad i have a big green garbage can. Everything ihave fits nicely into it. No recycling for me until they make me do it. Too messy.
ECUA needs to take over alot more than that. They also need to take over these water companys in the Cantonment area that are run by the good ole boy system. Some of these also are spending huge amounts of money to change out meters when there own employees are not required to do so. I guess they were busy hunting or something. Just a lillte concerned ?????
Why can’t Century Courthuse be a pickup sight,it would help a lot of people.
wow~!
Nice new list, after so long believing “real” comprehensive recycling might not ever return to Escambia County.
Well, guess I’ll have to re-sharpen my sorting skills once again!
The schedule needs to be adjusted at the Stefani Road location. There is cardboard flowing from every available opening as of this morning, as well as cardboard stacked in between bins.
