Due to the recent catastrophic flooding of streets and highways in Southern Louisiana, Progressive Waste Solutions is currently unable to access their Recycling Center in Baton Rouge. Therefore, Progressive will be temporarily suspending recycling collection in the City of Covington this week.
Due to these circumstances, residents of Covington have two options at this time. If their recycling carts are not full to capacity, they may choose to roll out their recycling cart for pick up next Wednesday instead. Otherwise, recyclable materials placed curbside tomorrow will be picked up and disposed of as regular garbage.
Progressive hopes to resume regular recycling pick up next Wednesday. Until then, Mayor Mike Cooper, the City Council and the Administration of the City of Covington ask all of our citizens for patience and understanding for this inconvenience as our neighboring cities recover from this disaster.
