SEATTLE (Recycling Monster): The city of North Augusta is changing the way it collects recyclable materials.

Starting July 31, sanitation crews will deliver a new 18-gallon recycling tote to each household.

Officials say it will take a couple weeks for all households to receive their tote.

Currently, residents use an “all-in-one” system where trash and recyclables are thrown into one roll cart.

In November, the Materials Recycling Facility was destroyed in a fire. As the city rebuilt the facility, a decision was made to collect trash and recyclables separately.

The first week of curbside recycling will be starting August 14. Households will receive recycling pick up every other week.
