Mobile does not run a citywide curbside recycling truck. Instead the city operates three staffed drop-off recycling centers where residents bring their own single-stream recyclables, no sorting required. A private subscription curbside option, run by Osprey Initiative in partnership with Glass Half Full of New Orleans, has also launched for residents who want pickup instead of drop-off. Glass is not accepted at the city drop-off centers, a change that took effect April 1, 2024.
The City of Mobile itself does not collect recyclables curbside. Residents take recyclables to one of three city-run single-stream drop-off centers instead. A separate, privately run subscription curbside recycling service from Osprey Initiative and Glass Half Full of New Orleans is also available to Mobile residents who sign up and pay for pickup, and it is the one local option that does accept glass.
The city's three drop-off recycling centers stopped accepting glass as of April 1, 2024, so glass bottles and jars cannot go in the blue single-stream bins at Museum Drive, Pinehill Drive, or the Dauphin Island Parkway site. The private Glass Half Full curbside subscription service is currently the main local option that still collects glass for recycling.
Household garbage and demolition debris from Mobile generally goes to the Chastang Landfill in Mt. Vernon, operated by WM, along with a few private landfills such as Dirt Inc., H&S Land, and the Lott Road Landfill that take trash and demolition debris. In December 2025 the Mobile County Commission rejected a WM proposal to triple capacity at Chastang, so that landfill's long-term footprint remains a live local issue.
The City of Mobile's Environmental Engineering Department hosts free Household Hazardous Waste collection events a few times a year for items like paint, automotive fluids, batteries, pesticides, and pool chemicals; tires, electronics, and appliances are not accepted at these events. For electronics specifically, the city's three recycling drop-off centers have separate blue bins for items like phones, computers, and game consoles through a partnership with Ransom Solutions, though TVs are not accepted there either.
Mobile runs two separate residential collection schedules: weekly household garbage pickup and every-other-week residential trash pickup, which covers bulkier household trash and yard debris on a set day per address. Items like tires and appliances still need to go to a landfill or specific drop-off point rather than the curb, since Mobile does not pick up tires with regular trash service.
