MUSKOGEE, Okla. — Muskogee city leaders celebrated the opening of a new building at the Muskogee Recycling Center this week, the city announced.

The building was made possible through a partnership between the city of Muskogee and INCOR, the city said.      

The partnership between the two organizations spans more than 40 years, when the first recycling center was opened at the corner of Columbus and Owen Streets. 

The center was eventually moved to its current location at 110 Iola Street and site administrators were housed in a white camper trailer that served as an office building and rest area for INCOR workers.     

“Our new recycle center building was made possible with a joint effort by the City of Muskogee and INCOR,” said Mayor Marlon J. Coleman. “INCOR contributed $30,000 and the City of Muskogee contributed $62,000 toward the purchase and construction of the new building.  It’s a win-win for our community.”       

The Muskogee Recycling Center recycles plastic, glass, paper, cardboard, metal, aluminum tin, oil and batteries. 

It is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
