Daphne opening holiday recycling drop-off, as regular recycling program remains in limbo


DAPHNE, Ala. (WALA) - The city of Daphne will be opening a recycling drop-off at the end of the month, where residents can take cardboard over the holidays.

The city was forced to halt its recycling program because of a fire which burned down its recycling facility in Dec. 2019. COVID-19 also put a strain on recycling. Since then, the city has been taking recyclables to the dump, leaving people the option to drive to Baldwin County drop-offs or pay for a recycling service. 

The seasonal drop off that Daphne is opening will run from Monday, November 30 to Friday, January 1. Only cardboard will be accepted. 

The drop off will be located outside the Daphne Public Works Department on Public Works Rd.
