“We are excited to be able to be able to open up the station five days a week again,” Breckenridge Public Works Director Houston Satterwhite said. “We hope that it will attract more people to the station and be a benefit to all our citizens.”
There is an on-site recycling bin at the station free of charge. Brush, limbs, leaves and grass clippings can also be dumped free of charge.
