Frequently Asked Questions — Recycling in Glendale
Does Glendale, AZ have curbside recycling?
Yes. The City of Glendale provides a residential blue recycling barrel for single-family homes. It accepts paper, cardboard, cans, plastic bottles and jugs, and glass bottles and jars. Items must be clean, dry and empty, placed loose (never bagged). Plastic bags, Styrofoam, yard clippings and scrap metal are not accepted in the barrel.
Can you recycle cans for money in Glendale?
Arizona does not have a bottle-and-can deposit (bottle bill), so you can't redeem cans for a deposit the way you can in some states. However, scrap-metal yards such as SA Recycling or Southwest Metals buy aluminum and other metals by weight. Prices vary by yard and market, so call ahead to confirm.
Where can I drop off scrap metal in Glendale?
SA Recycling on N 55th Ave, Southwest Metals on W Pasadena Ave and R&C Recycling on N 68th Ave are the scrap-metal yards listed here. Accepted metals and payouts vary by location, so check each center's page and call before hauling a load.
How do I recycle an old phone in Glendale?
Glendale has two ecoATM kiosks, including one on W Bell Rd, where you can sell an eligible used phone, tablet or MP3 player for cash on the spot. Payout depends on the device's model and condition. For other electronics, check city or county e-waste options, since kiosks only take certain gadgets.
