The City of Saline announced on its Facebook page Friday that it was closing the small recycling center at city hall on Harris Street.
The post did not say why the city decided to close the recycling center, but city leaders discussed the issue at a meeting in January. Residents were leaving behind a mess in the city hall parking lot and city staff were wasting time cleaning the mess.
There are still extra recycle carts at Mill Pond Park.
The city, in its Facebook post, also noted that residents can use the Recycle Ann Arbor service on South Industrial Drive in Ann Arbor for recycling.
The city's new contract with Waste Management provides a free recycling cart for curbside service to every city household. Residents who do not have a cart can order one by calling the Saline Department of Public Works at (734) 429-5624.
Residents can also pay for a second recycling cart by calling Waste Management at 866-797-9018.

Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
