Recycling center improvements and generator backup
Summary
Solid Waste plans to redevelop one recycling center per year at $1.8 million, with backup generation and electrical upgrades built into the rebuild program — a response to Weirsdale and Citra both losing power during the last storm. The centers collected over 200 roll-off boxes and single-stream recycling still costs the county about $400,000 a year.
