RecyclingMonster - In an effort to make the recycling program more efficient, El Paso’s Environmental Services Department will no longer be collecting recycling bins every week. Rather, curbside recycling will be every other week beginning Tuesday.

The City says they’ve been able to determine that trucks are running routes where less than half of the recycling bins are set out for collection and the majority of those containers placed on the curb are less than a quarter full. As a result, they’re shifting collections to every other week.
