The Janesville Fire Department is still investigating the massive blaze that ignited Tuesday at the Janesville Waste Management Recycling Center.

City Manager Mark Freitag tells Your Talk Show on WCLO the fire won’t impact residents curbside recycling pickup because the city contracts out their recycling with a facility in Whitewater.

The blaze brought in firefighters from surrounding departments and took more than 10 hours to put out.

The cause of the fire and the total damage is still under investigation.
