The Wellington Recycle Center opened in April of 2005 to help reduce the amount of trash going to the land fill. In its first year of operation, 447 vehicles dropped off recyclable materials in the Center. In 2007, a total of 6780 cars dropped off recyclable materials at the facility.
The Recycle Center does not have a separate budget, but is funded through the Sanitation operations budget.
The Center is manned by one attendant and no less then five volunteers.
