The City is transitioning from multi-stream recycling collection to automated recycling collection, phasing in areas over time to allow the growth of fleet, facility, and inventory. Residents will receive notice by mail when automated recycling expands to each neighborhood.
The Recycling Division also operates a free Drop Off Center. The drop off is open to the public Monday through Saturday and greets thousands of visitors monthly. An attendant is always available to assist or answer questions. Access the Drop Off Recycling Guidelines
Please be sure to check the recycling guidelines for in-depth descriptions of acceptable and prohibited material for each program. Thank you for recycling responsibly!
