New Location of Can Recycling Truck (added Mar. 7th, 2010)
The Wise Recycling truck, which collected aluminum cans and some other metals for 30 years at the lot north of JoAnn Fabrics, has found a new location. Wise Recycling executive Mike Padilla said the truck is now open for business 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday on a paved lot just southeast of Octopus Car Wash at the intersection of Menaul and Eubank. The new site is on the little curved street that connects eastbound Menaul to southbound Eubank. Wise Recycling was asked to move from its old Menaul and Wyoming location, as were the city recycling dumpsters, by that lot's owner. The dumpsters have gone south to a lot next to Garcia's Kitchen just east of the Wyoming and Indian School intersection.
