The League City Recycling Center at 1535 Dickinson Ave., League City, closed June 23.

According to city officials, the closure was due to excessive illegal dumping and hazardous waste contamination. League City officials monitored the facility for six months and found frequent violators were nonresidents and commercial businesses.

Officials are applying for a Houston-Galveston Area Council grant to provide a staffed recycling facility for the city.
