Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is Recycle.ws?
Recycle.ws is an independent guide and directory that helps you find recycling locations near you — for electronics, batteries, household hazardous waste, scrap metal and donation items — and understand what each accepts.
How do I find out what can be recycled in my area?
Rules vary by city and hauler. Search by material to find nearby locations, and always confirm current rules and accepted items with your local municipal program or the listed location.
Where can I recycle electronics or batteries?
Search the electronics or battery categories to find drop-off locations near you — many retailers and dedicated recyclers accept these, but accepted items vary by location.
What should I do with household hazardous waste?
Paint, motor oil, chemicals and similar items usually can't go in regular trash or recycling. Search hazardous waste disposal to find a collection event or facility near you.
Can my recycling center list on this site for free?
Yes. Recycling centers, municipal programs, scrap yards and donation centers can create a free profile listing their materials accepted and hours.
Are hours and materials accepted kept up to date?
Listings are created and maintained by the locations themselves. Recycle.ws does not verify hours, fees or materials accepted — confirm directly with the location before you go.
Is this an official government recycling program?
No. Recycle.ws is an independent directory and guide, not a government program, waste hauler or waste management company.
