Temporary Halt to Cortez Recycling Services Due to Equipment Issue at County Landfill

The City of Cortez has temporarily halted its recycling program due to a malfunctioning baler at the Montezuma County Landfill. This issue affects the recycling of plastics, cardboard, and office paper for both residential and commercial accounts. There will be no collection or drop-off services for these materials until further notice.

Metal recycling is still available and can be accessed at the public drop-off site at 110 West Progress Circle. This allows the city to continue some recycling services despite the equipment malfunction.

Regular trash and lawn debris collection services are not affected and will continue as usual. This ensures that community cleanliness and sanitation are maintained.
