Daggett County Newsletter Page 6 Recycling in Daggett County At the request of Tri County Health Department Daggett County’s recycling program in Manila was discon- tinued in late March. We have been getting lots of inquiries regarding restarting the program, but have no location to store or sort the recyclable materials received. If you have a large barn, garage or other stor- age area that you would like to donate for the next 3 or 4 months we would be interested in speaking with you. The County is working on grants to build a new building, but even if the applications are successful we are three to four months away from building a new recycling facility. If you feel the recycling program is beneficial we would encourage you to make a tax deductible donation to the Community Foundation of Utah (423 West 800 South – Suite #A101; Salt Lake City, UT 84101) on behalf of the Flaming Gorge Country Community Foun- dation to show support for this program and enable us to find ad- ditional matching funds. There are several locations where you can continue recycling while we are working to find a new location: Green River (WY) Public Works Recycling at 325 E. Teton Ave is open 24/7. An- other good location is in Park City at Recycle Utah, which is lo- cated at 1951 Woodbine Way and is open Monday through Friday 8-5:30 and Saturdays from 10 -4. 2015Daggett Daze Pageant September 4th, 2015 Manila Park Pavilion 7:00 P.M.
