NOTN- Juneau’s Recycling Center remains closed today and, according to CBJ, will remain closed indefinitely while critical replacement parts are shipped to the city to repair damaged equipment.
The center, has been closed due to problems with its recycling baler.
Recycleworks said parts have been ordered to repair the center’s baler, the parts are on the way to Juneau, but no timeline has been given for when repairs will be completed or when the center will reopen.
During the closure, staff are working on deferred maintenance projects and manually baling accumulated recyclable materials already on site.
The center closed through the city’s major snow storm, and when it reopened closed once more due to a surplus of recyclables.
The center serves as a primary drop-off location for community recycling and has experienced intermittent closures in recent years due to equipment and operational challenges .
City officials acknowledged the inconvenience for residents and said updates will be posted daily here, as repairs progress.
