Recycling in Eagle River: A Local Guide
Eagle River, a community of roughly 35,000 in the Municipality of Anchorage about 12 miles northeast of downtown, is served by two municipal solid-waste facilities operated by Anchorage Solid Waste Services (SWS).
The Anchorage Regional Landfill at 15500 Eagle River Loop Rd is the area's main disposal site. It accepts residential and commercial solid waste Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM–5:00 PM, and Saturday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (closed Sunday). An on-site wood lot offers free woody debris drop-off on Fridays and Saturdays from May through October. A temporary traffic pattern was in place in 2026 due to reconstruction of the residential disposal building — check current conditions by calling (907) 343-6250. Note that lithium batteries are no longer accepted at the landfill as of March 2024.
For household hazardous waste, the Hazardous Waste Collection Center near the intersection of Glenn Highway and Hiland Rd is Eagle River's dedicated HHW drop-off, operated by the Municipality of Anchorage SWS. This is now the required disposal site for all lithium batteries — municipal policy prohibits them from regular trash or the landfill. Call (907) 428-1742 for current hours and the full accepted-materials list before visiting.
Residents in the broader Alaska region can also find additional options in Anchorage, where the Central Transfer Station at 1310 E. 56th Ave. operates Monday–Saturday for residential disposal, and the Materials Recovery Facility accepts select plastics and organics seasonally.
