Recycling in Amarillo, Texas

Amarillo trash is a 95-gallon cart, collected twice a week. Recycling is a free drop-off, not a cart: used oil, oil filters, tin, aluminum, and cardboard. The cart sits by the curb with the handle toward the curb and the arrows on the lid toward the street, with 5 feet of clearance. Solid Waste is (806) 378-6813. Texas has no bottle deposit. Government-issued ID required for regulated metals including copper and catalytic converters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can Amarillo recycling be dropped off?

Oil, oil filters, tin, and aluminum go to the Central Recycling Drop Off Center, to SE 27th and Hayes, to 208 E. Hastings behind Fire Station 4, or to 6th and Western next to the water tower. Cardboard, through KB Recycling, goes to Medical Center Park at 1260 Streit Drive, the downtown library at 413 SE 4th Street, the southwest branch at 6801 W. 45th Street, the east branch at 2232 E. 27th Street, and the north branch at 1500 NE 24th Street. The landfill is 16250 Bezner Drive, (806) 359-2056.

How does the Amarillo trash cart have to be placed?

Near the curb, handle facing the curb, arrows on the lid pointing at the street. Leave 5 feet around it, and keep it 12 feet clear of low branches. Close the lid. Bags on top of the cart or beside it are not collected. Hot ashes, coals, concrete, tires, and anything heavy enough that the arm cannot lift the cart stay out. Twice a week, with changes for holidays and bad weather. A missed cart is (806) 378-6813 or COAPublicWorks@amarillo.gov. Roll-out help is a fee.

How does Amarillo bulky pickup work?

It is free for household furniture, appliances, limbs, fencing, mattresses, water heaters, and similar items. Call (806) 378-6813 or use the curbside request form, then set the pile in the grass by the sidewalk or within 3 feet of the curb, clear of hydrants and wires. Pickup is within 1 to 3 business days of the date you were given. Construction debris and tires can add a fee, and the office says so when you schedule. The city also says landfill disposal of those household items is free for residents. Keep the pile out of the alley.
