Recycling with Maricopa County Solid Waste Management is a drop-off service designed to help residents reduce the amount of waste deposited into local landfills and illegal dump sites.

You collect your recyclables at home anddrop them off at our recycling facilities where we store and later transfer your recyclables to a materials recovery facility (MRF).

At the MRF recyclables are sorted and bailed, then transferred to a reclamation facility where the recyclables begin their transformation into something new before returning to a retailer and back to you.
