The Beat called Southwest Solid Waste Authority to find out why the cardboard recycling bins have not been in the Harbor Freight parking lot the past two weeks.
The explanation given was that they have a truck down , so it is slowing their pick up and replacement, which includes Hurley, Mimbres, Cliff and Silver City.
Another call to Alex Brown, Town of Silver City manager, who serves on the SWSWA board, resulted in the Beat finding out that the one at Harbor Freight would not be returning to the location at the request of the business owner.
Brown said they are currently looking for another location, perhaps returning one to the Grant County Administration Center parking lot, but at this point anyone wishing to recycle cardboard locally in Silver City will have to take a trip to the dump.
