Bingen Mayor Betty Barnes is asking for people to respect the recycling location at the City’s public works yard, and cease dumping non-recyclable materials there. The site is operated by Klickitat County and Republic Services, but is on City property. Barnes says they have had problems with people abusing the location, from leaving non-recyclable trash to dumping items when the gates to the site are locked. Barnes pointed out that Republic picks up recyclables from the site twice a day on many weekdays, and on Saturdays as well. She adds they are working on installing surveillance cameras at the site.
