Recycling in Cheyenne, Wyoming
Cheyenne runs a bi-weekly single-stream curbside recycling program through the city's Sanitation Division, so residents sort nothing but need to keep materials loose, dry, and clean. Glass bottles and jars are accepted right in the blue-lid cart alongside paper, cardboard, metal cans, and a limited set of plastics. Anything electronic, hazardous, or oversized goes to the Transfer Station on College Drive instead of the bin, and the city's own Happy Jack Landfill sits about 11 miles west of town off Happy Jack Road.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cheyenne have curbside recycling or is it drop-off only?
Cheyenne has true curbside recycling, not just drop-off. The city provides bi-weekly single-stream pickup to all residents using blue-lid carts, and residents can look up their specific pickup day through the city's Recycle Coach tool or app. Materials must be placed loose in the cart, never bagged, or the load can be flagged with a contamination fee.
Can you recycle glass in Cheyenne?
Yes. Glass food and beverage containers (brown, clear, or green) are accepted directly in curbside recycling carts, which is more generous than many cities that have dropped glass from single-stream programs. Window glass, auto glass, mirrors, light bulbs, and glass cookware or bakeware are not accepted and should go in regular trash or hazardous waste depending on the item.
Where is the Cheyenne landfill and what can you take there?
The City of Cheyenne's Happy Jack Landfill is at 1461 Happy Jack Road, about 11 miles west of the city, open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed weekends). It accepts municipal solid waste and construction/demolition debris, with fees based on weight per the city's solid waste fee schedule. Concrete, asphalt, and shingles are not accepted at the Transfer Station and must go straight to the landfill instead.
How do you dispose of household hazardous waste or electronics in Cheyenne?
Both are handled at the city's Transfer Station at 220 N. College Drive, separate from regular trash and curbside recycling. Household Hazardous Waste (paints, pesticides, flammable liquids, batteries, antifreeze, etc.) is accepted Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (closed for lunch) and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Residents can also drop off up to three pieces of e-waste per day at no charge, covering computers, TVs, printers, monitors, cables, and similar items; commercial entities pay contracted processing costs plus a 10 percent handling fee.
Does Cheyenne offer bulk item or furniture pickup?
Yes, the Sanitation Division offers bulk item pickup for an additional charge, arranged by calling the division directly to get pricing and scheduling. Residents can also skip the wait and haul bulk items to the Transfer Station themselves. A separate branch pickup program runs the third Thursday of each month during yard waste season for anyone who needs limbs and trimmings hauled cut to three feet and left unbundled at the curb.
Cheyenne Recycling Tips
- •Keep recyclables loose in the blue-lid cart. Cheyenne's sanitation crews will skip or fine bagged recycling, even if the bag itself holds accepted materials.
- •Only plastics numbered #1, #2, #4, and #5 go in curbside recycling. Clamshells, to-go containers, and anything numbered #3, #6, #7, or unmarked belong in the trash even if they look recyclable.
- •Flatten and cut cardboard into pieces roughly 2 feet by 2 feet or smaller before putting it in the cart, or crews may leave it behind.
- •High plains wind is strong enough here that the Happy Jack Landfill actually shuts its gates whenever sustained wind hits 30 mph per DEQ guidelines, reopening once it drops and stays below that for an hour. Call ahead on gusty days before making the drive out Happy Jack Road.
- •E-waste and hazardous waste are separate stops from the regular Transfer Station dumping window. Time your visit for the specific HHW/E-waste hours (Tuesday through Friday 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.) or the items won't be accepted.
