FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't Waste Management provide recycling in my community or city?
Procuring recycling services is the responsibility of the municipality. If the citizens of your community would like to discuss recycling options with Waste Management, you may reach one of our Recycling Coordinators by clicking here.
Why does the list of acceptable recyclable items vary by area?
Waste Management tailors specific recycling programs for each municipality we serve. For this reason, programs may vary not only by area, but also by community.
Why aren't recycling facilities available in every city?
In order to be economically feasible, recycling requires that a lot of material be available for recycling. It is simply too costly to provide a processing facility within each community.
