City of Killeen Recycling Center

The City of Killeen offers multiple recycling locations where residents can drop off various recyclable materials for free, including paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, and aluminum cans. Accepted items must be clean and sorted properly, with specific instructions provided for each material type such as removing lids, crushing cans, and draining liquids from glass bottles. The recycling center also accepts items like cell phones, rechargeable batteries, used cooking oil, and automotive oil from individuals in limited quantities. Additionally, the center provides services such as a public scale for weighing vehicles and hosts Household Hazardous Waste Collection events for proper disposal of hazardous materials. Visitors are encouraged to update their recycling programs to include corrugated pizza boxes, as they are recyclable and contribute to the paper recycling industry.
