Recycling in Maricopa: A Local Guide
Residents of Maricopa, Arizona lost their most convenient recycling option when the City of Maricopa Waste and Recycling Center at 46250 W McDavid Road permanently closed on August 12, 2023. Today, two privately operated facilities cover the area's disposal and recycling needs — each serving a distinct purpose, so knowing which to use matters.
Recycle Today Maricopa at 45030 W Edwards Circle is the city's recommended replacement for metals and electronics recycling. It is a for-profit scrap metal buyer licensed with the Arizona DPS, which means it pays market rates for copper, aluminum, brass, radiators, electric motors, batteries, and appliances. It also accepts electronics — computers, TVs, and printers — for responsible material recovery. Hours are Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–5:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–3:00 PM; call (520) 424-5976 for current commodity prices. This is the only Maricopa facility open on Saturdays for recycling.
WM Butterfield Station Landfill at 40404 S 99th Avenue accepts bulk household waste, construction and demolition debris, yard waste, and contaminated soil at commercial tipping fees. It operates Monday–Friday 6:00 AM–3:00 PM, closed weekends. Household hazardous waste (paints, chemicals, batteries, motor oil) is not accepted here. For those materials, check Pinal County or Maricopa County (the county, not the city) for periodic HHW collection events. For curbside garbage and recycling service to your home, contact Maricopa Public Works at (520) 568-9098 or WM customer service.
Residents whose recyclables such as cardboard, paper, and plastic bottles are not accepted at either facility above should check whether their neighborhood has an active curbside recycling program through the city. The former City of Maricopa Waste and Recycling Center listing now serves as a reference and redirect to these current alternatives. Nearby cities like Chandler and Gilbert have additional recycling infrastructure for Maricopa County residents. Visit the Arizona recycling guide for statewide resources.
