Yuma collects blue recycle containers on Thursday and Friday every week, and the program is commingled, so everything accepted goes in loose with no sorting by type. Yuma is one of the few cities that actively asks residents not to bag recyclables, with one deliberate exception for shredded paper. Loads too big for the blue bin now go to the Republic Services Transfer Station rather than a city drop-off site.
On Thursday and Friday of every week, excluding major holidays, the City of Yuma collects the blue recycle containers. The city's route map shows which day applies to your area.
No. Yuma provides commingled curbside recycling, so all accepted materials can go into a single container loosely. Bagging is discouraged, with one exception: put shredded paper in a plastic bag so it does not scatter during pickup.
Aluminum and steel cans including beverage, soup, vegetable and pet food cans plus used foil and foil pie plates; cardboard, cartons, product packaging and boxes; paper such as newspapers, magazines, catalogs, glossy sales papers, junk mail and phone books; plastics numbered 1 through 7; and glass containers and jars in clear, brown, blue and green.
The drop-off location has moved to the Republic Services Transfer Station at 3040 S. Avenue 3 1/2 E in Yuma, open 7:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday and 7:00 am to noon on Saturday, closed Sunday. Tell the scale operator you are dropping off recycling, and bring only recyclables because regular trash is charged. It is one of the area's transfer stations.
Wash containers out to prevent contamination, since the cleaner the recyclable the more value it has, and break down cardboard boxes into smaller pieces before they go in the bin.
