City to close recycling center on South Jefferson
On Monday, June 2, The City of Cookeville will permanently close the recycling center located at 1191 S. Jefferson Ave.
“The center, which has served the community for many years, is currently situated on privately owned land,” the city said in making the announcement. “The City is grateful to the property owner for graciously allowing the land to be used as a public recycling site.”
Officials say a recycling center “will eventually reopen at a new location on West Davis Road.”
“Until the new site opens on West Davis Road, a temporary recycling center will be installed at 760 Whitson Ave.,” the city said. “Residents are encouraged to use both the temporary center and the recycling center at 335 E. Stevens St. for their recycling needs.”
