While the city has left its recycling containers out, the materials are taken to the dump. ACU&#8217;s Operations Division has continued to pick up paper and cardboard from the offices in hopes that a new recycler would quickly be found. However, at this time, the city has not found a new recycler. The Operations Division has been transferring the contents of the blue bags into trash bags to go to the dump. Due to the additional labor this requires and the uncertainty of a resumption of service, we will be discontinuing paper and cardboard pickup by the end of July. Departments will be contacted and a time to pick up all blue bags and racks will be scheduled. Operations will store the bags and racks to use again when the city or another company starts accepting paper and cardboard for recycling. Shredding service, for materials with personal or confidential information, will continue. The shredded paper will be put in the trash until paper recycling resumes. For questions about the pickup of the bags and racks, please contact Geoff Klafter at 2365 or\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:gak02b@acu.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gak02b@acu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several months ago, the company used by the City of Abilene for recycling stopped accepting paper and cardboard and picked up the paper and cardboard containers that we used for ACU\u2019s recycling.
