ECUA Recycling Back Up And Running With Normal Curbside Collections

October 19, 2020

After restarting last week for the first time since Hurricane Sally, the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority is back in the recycling business.

The ECUA recycling program was halted temporarily after Hurricane Sally caused about $800,000 in damage to the ECUA Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) at the Perdido Landfill.

ECUA also returned to collecting yard trash and bulk waste last week — but only if the items were not debris from Hurricane Sally. Hurricane debris is being collected by FEMA contractors in Escambia County, totally separate from the services provided by ECUA.

    @ J —- ECUA is not the responsible party for collecting Hurricane Sally debris. The three contractors who are assigned specific zones are contracted by the Board of County Commissioners.

    ECUA – could you publish a pickup SCHEDULE for hurricane debris for the county?
    There has been no pickup at all in our 10 Mile Rd – Brook Hollow vicinity.
