About this center

The City of Bartlesville's recycling center, located at 840 SW 10th Street, is currently closed. The California-based operator Replenysh, which had run the city-owned facility since 2021, ended its arrangement with the City in May 2025; the City is researching potential replacement services. Separately, the City's Public Works department continues to provide weekly residential refuse collection and commercial waste pickup (up to six times per week) using automated trucks and polycarts throughout Bartlesville. Yard waste collection is offered twice annually, typically in spring and fall, and residents can dispose of bulky items at Osage Landfill using the City's annual clean-up coupon.

Cleanest most efficient recycling center I have ever seen! Nice helpful staff! If you don't bring an attitude you won't get one. Be nice!

It has been closed for more than several months. Is there no other place Bartlesville can take the recycles to except Tulsa? This is ridiculous. And when you do finally open up please take glass. Why doesn’t Bartlesville have a dedicated recycle center? I guess you don’t mind filling up the landfill with material that should be recycled. You have Phillips and they could recycle plastic yes?

CLOSED for months Bartlesville Recycling is reflective of the bass-ackwards thinking endemic in this area. Even when it was open they didn't take glass. Screw the Earth! Coastal folks will just print money and bail us out.. A-GAIN! They always do. It's a good thing we have all of them edu-muh-cated folks on the coasts to fix all of our problems or we'd be REALLY up a creek!
