Due to too much trash and unwanted items in the Calhoun County recycling trailers, the Seadrift and Port O’Connor drop off sites will only be open the first full week of each month. If problems continue, it is possible the program will be closed permanently in these areas. Information can be picked up at the Seadrift location, located at the County Commissioner, Kenneth Finster’s office or calling Patricia Kalisek at 361-552-7791.
