Brandon Melton, the agency's Staff Coordinator says the $80,000 could be used to provide financial support for private bin sites.
"Midland Davis volunteered to start accepting drop-off recycling at their location. They've indicated that they would benefit from some assistance with signage and getting the word out that it is available to the public to drop off their recycling during their normal hours."
Even though the Rock Island County drop off sites have closed, there are still sites nearby.
"The Scott County drop-off sites have remained open. One available in Centennial Park, right across the bridge in Davenport where folx can take drop-off recycling. 202 South Marquette Street."
The agency has not yet decided what the additional dollars will pay for.
The next meeting for the Rock Island County Waste Management Agency will be held July 19th.
