| Recycling |
The City of Cove has a recycling center on the corner of Alder and Church.
Recently the City of Cove has experienced an increase in dumping of non-recyclable materials on the ground at the recycling center. This is illegal and the City of Cove now monitors this site and will take appropriate action for violators.
Remember this recycling center is a benefit for all of us. Please use it for recyclable items only.
