Recycling in Bondurant: A Local Guide
Bondurant residents have access to two distinct Metro Waste Authority facilities at the same Prairie Drive campus — Metro Redemption Center and Metro Hazardous Waste Drop-Off — making 1105 Prairie Dr SW one of the most versatile waste diversion sites in Polk County. Both are open Tuesday through Friday 10 AM–6 PM and Saturday 8 AM–Noon; neither operates on Sunday or Monday. The same trip can cover bottle and can deposit redemptions, household hazardous waste like paint and pesticides, e-waste such as computers and televisions, recycling drop-off, and a compost/mulch swap shop.
The Metro Redemption Center returns Iowa's $0.05 beverage container deposit on eligible aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and glass bottles. Containers must be empty, reasonably clean, and presented sorted by type — no black bags. The phone for redemption inquiries is 515-244-0021. This is the same deposit redemption program operated across Iowa under the state's bottle bill, and Bondurant's site is one of only two MWA-operated redemption points in the metro area, giving Polk County residents a convenient suburban alternative to downtown Des Moines.
The Metro Hazardous Waste Drop-Off (phone 515-967-5512) accepts a wide range of materials that don't belong in the trash: oil-based paint, pesticides, aerosols, CFLs, fluorescent bulbs, antifreeze, motor oil, gasoline, mercury thermometers, and more. What sets Bondurant apart from some satellite sites is that it also accepts computers and televisions as e-waste — a valuable service for households upgrading electronics. Residential drop-off is free with no appointment required; small businesses must enroll and schedule ahead. Latex paint is not accepted (dry it first before landfill disposal). For the Iowa recycling directory, the Bondurant campus is a model of efficient co-location.
Nearby communities also served by Metro Waste Authority include Altoona, Ankeny, and Pleasant Hill. Residents of those cities who pass through Bondurant will find the Prairie Drive campus conveniently located just off I-80. If you have electronics that are not computers or TVs, contact MWA at 515-967-5512 to confirm whether your item qualifies before making the trip.
