Trash woes in Mendocino County; recycling centers closing and waste bins galore (updated 8/5)

UPDATE, 8/5/22 — In a conversation with The Mendocino Voice on Aug. 5, Waste Management Northern California-Nevada (WM) spokesperson Paul Rosynsky clarified to The Mendocino Voice that WM’s contracted hauler, ContainerPros, was actually finishing its second two-week period of bin collection, which began July 25.

On Monday, ContainerPros and WM will assess how many bins have been collected and determine whether a third collection period is needed. If one is, that will take place in mid-August, Rosynsky said. He could not provide the number of bins that have been collected thus far by the time of publication.
