Temporary Closure of Wealthy St. Drop-Off Station
For Electronics & Single-Stream Recycling
The Electronics & Recycling Drop-Off Station at the Kent County Recycling & Education Center campus is temporarily closing due to construction of the new Kent County DPW administrative offices and SafeChem Collection Center at that same location.
Construction is scheduled to begin in early April. This requires us to close the electronics and recycling drop-off station at 5:00pm on Friday, March 26, 2021. Construction will last through Fall of 2021 and the drop-off station will remain closed until construction is complete.
The temporary closure DOES NOT IMPACT the operations and processing of recyclables at the Kent County Recycling & Education Center and WILL NOT IMPACT access to the facility by commercial recycling haulers.
There are still many ways that you can keep recycling
