Curbside Recycling Tips

The City of Waco Solid Waste Services offers once a week Curbside Paper Recycling using 35 gallon carts. Recycling material is collected on the same day as your garbage. Please observe the following guidelines for timely and safe service:

  • All of the recycling material needs to be inside the container with the lid closed.
  • Please place the recycling cart at the edge of the street on the night before your recycling day or by 7 am on your collection day.
  • If preferred, residents can place recycling material into their own container; all containers must have a lid and a decal to identify the container; decals are available at City Hall or at the Water Office.
  • Placing unacceptable or improperly prepared material into the recycling cart may contaminate truckloads or material.
  • All materials must be dry.

The Cobbs Convenience Center will also accept other recyclable items.
For more information, call Solid Waste Services at (254)299-2612.
