Frequently Asked Questions

Does Casper WY have curbside recycling?

No. The city collects trash at the curb, but recycling goes to one of nine city depots. Huber Park sits at 3031 E 5th St (use the alley entrance off Lion Ct near the tennis courts), and Paradise Valley Pool is at 5200 Iris in the eastern-most parking lot. If you haul recyclables in plastic bags, empty them into the bin and toss the bag in the depot's trash bin.

What can I put in Casper recycling bins?

The depots take #1 plastic bottles and #2 jugs like milk and detergent, rinsed and dried with the lids thrown away. Plastic wrap, grocery bags, clamshells, and Styrofoam stay out. The paper bin takes white and pastel paper only, with no bright colors, construction paper, or envelopes with glue or plastic windows. Shredded paper stays in clear bags. The depots do not take glass.

Where does Casper take household hazardous waste?

Take it to the Casper Special Waste and Diversion Facility at 1883 Station Rd, across from the landfill, and enter from the south gate. Residents drop off paint, oil, gasoline, oven cleaners, pesticides, and other hazardous waste free with no appointment. It refuses commercial hazardous waste, infectious waste, PCBs, and oil-filled transformers. For explosives, ammunition, or unstable chemicals, call the Natrona County Sheriff's Department at 307-235-9282 and leave them in place.

Where do I recycle batteries and electronics in Casper?

Bring them to the city landfill during regular hours, where staff recycle every battery and electronic device free. Rechargeable batteries in phones, laptops, vape pens, and electric toothbrushes start fires when compacted in the landfill, so they never go in a trash bin. Pull the battery or bring the device with it inside, and seal damaged batteries in a bag with kitty litter or sand.

Where do I take yard waste, appliances, and scrap metal in Casper?

Haul them to the Solid Waste Facility at 1886 Station Rd, which takes tree branches, yard waste, metal appliances, electronics, and recyclable metal free when you show your monthly City utility bill, on paper or on your phone. Sod, bricks, building materials, concrete, dirt, and Freon appliances go there too. City trash bins take bagged household waste only, and Code Enforcement (307-235-8254) handles debris left in yards and alleys.

Recycling tips for Casper

  • •Pull up your City utility bill on your phone at the landfill gate, because it serves as one free pass each month.
