Recycle Cíbola! is pleased to announce that corrugated cardboard, mixed paper, sorted office paper, and plastics (nos. ) are now being accepted for recycling in the Cíbola County Recycling Program.

These separated materials can be taken to the recycling drop-off locations at the Smith’s Food and Drug parking lot in Grants, the John Brooks Supermarket in Milan, and the Cíbola County Transfer Station in Milan. Both Grants and Milan locations are open from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, Mon day through Friday. The Transfer Station’s hours of operation are 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Bluewater, Cubero, and Seboyeta Convenience Centers accept only corrugated cardboard at this time.

Electronic waste (computers, televisions, mobile phones, etc.) and used motor oil are accepted only at the Transfer Station in Milan.

“Residents welcome the return of mixed paper and plastics to the list of materials that can be recycled in Cíbola County” says Recycle Cíbola! Co-Coordinator, Hollis Fleischer.

“In the last year or so, many residents had sought to restore the recycling program, asking to be allowed again to recycle materials such as plastics and paper. They brought their petition to local managers and elected officials.”

“Now, people can see that their voices were heard, and we all thank those who were able to make the changes happen.”
