Morehead-area business pickup is offered for $10/pick up. Rowan County residential curbside pick up is offered for $10/month. At the Morehead-Rowan County-MSU Community Recycling Center, we hope to fulfill all of your

recycling needs. Why should we spend time and money on promoting recycling? There are many reasons why recycling is good for the environment and the economy. This center promotes recycling, source reduction and buying products made from recycled materials as objectives to a more sustainable society. We offer a variety of services that make disposal of recyclables both convenient and environmentally sound. This information is for you. If you have any questions feel free to contact us! What started with a handful of volunteers in 1990 in an old school bus garage has become a busy, modern facility on the banks of Triplett Creek. Drop by to drop off your recyclables and to visit! To us, Every Day is Earth Day. The Morehead Community Recycling Center, or MCRC, was reformed in 2000 as an "Interlocal Agreement" between Rowan County, the City of Morehead, and Morehead State University. Our mission is to offer recycling services to the community in an effort to return usable materials to the marketplace and to lessen the amount of waste buried in our landfill.

Well it’s been a mess to say the least!!! I don’t know what we would do without the help from the Rowan County Road department, the City of Morehead Public Works, the Morehead Fire Department, City Police Department, Rumpke, and all our gang at the Community Recycling Center.

Today we were able to get the biggest part of our mess cleaned up!!! I thank you all that had a part in the cleanup!!!
