Frequently Asked Questions
What items cannot be recycled at this Hy-Vee redemption point?
It only handles Iowa deposit beverage containers. Non-deposit items — water and milk jugs, electronics, appliances, cardboard, and household hazardous waste — are not accepted here; take those to a Polk County / Metro Waste Authority facility.
How do I get rid of a TV for free near Pleasant Hill?
Not at this redemption point. Metro Waste Authority's Regional Collection Center (serving Polk County) handles electronics; check their e-waste program for current fees and rules.
Can I drop off general recycling at Hy-Vee here?
No. This is a beverage-container deposit-refund point, not a drop-off for mixed recycling. Returnable cans and bottles marked "IA 5¢" earn the nickel deposit back.
Are there published redemption hours?
We could not verify separate redemption hours for this store, and Hy-Vee redemption availability in Iowa has changed over time. Call the Pleasant Hill Hy-Vee first to confirm it is currently redeeming containers.
