The O'Fallon Public Works Department noted in their report for January 2013 that they would consider moving the city's two recycling drop-off sites.

The sites at Monticello Plaza and TR Hughes Ballpark have become eyesores, the report stated, due to illegal drop-offs. New signage at the sites has helped somewhat, and as an alternative to moving, the city may look at installing surveillance cameras at the sites.
