Recycle Center among public works active and proposed projects

Following the devastating fire in July 2024 that destroyed the Chelan Recycle Center, city officials are gearing up to build a new facility. They are in the process of preparing a request for bids to kickstart construction, which is a significant step toward restoring essential recycling services. The previous center was vital for local waste management, and its closure has led to increased waste disposal challenges for residents. The new Recycle Center is expected to enhance recycling access and efficiency, benefiting the community. Local officials emphasize the importance of this project in promoting sustainable waste practices.

Funding and logistical details are still being finalized, but the city is optimistic about a swift recovery. This initiative not only addresses immediate waste management needs but also aligns with broader environmental goals. Community feedback will be sought to ensure the new center meets residents' needs effectively.
