    Kestrel Court Recycling Center

Staff recommended that it is time to consider looking at an alternate garbage & recycling center to a location at the Municipal Center because the current location is no longer able to service the growing Kiawah community. Council agreed and instructed staff to move forward with considering plans to relocate the site to the Municipal Center to allow for improved service to the community.
