City of Yuma residents are encouraged to take advantage of our two convenient drop-off sites to recycle:
- Aluminum & Steel Cans: soda cans, soup cans, vegetable cans, pet food cans, used foil, foil pie plates and more.
- Cardboard: old cartons, toy & product packaging, corrugated boxes, cereal boxes, soft drink boxes and clean pizza boxes.
- Paper: newspapers, magazines, books, glossy sales papers, junk mail and more.
- Plastics: milk and juice containers, detergent bottles and any other household plastics (types 1-7)
Please Remember
- You do NOT have to separate your recyclables. They may be dumped loosely into any of the site containers.
- Recyclables should be washed out to prevent contamination; the cleaner the recyclable the more value it has.
- Break down cardboard boxes into smaller pieces.
- At this time we do NOT accept any glass or waxed cardboard containers.
