Recycling in Webster City: A Local Guide
Webster City, the county seat of Hamilton County, Iowa, has three recycling operations at different points on the materials chain. The most broadly useful for residents is The Trash Man at 1812 2nd St, which doubles as a recycling drop-off center open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. After 20-plus years serving Hamilton County, The Trash Man accepts flattened cardboard (no pizza boxes), newspapers, magazines, junk mail, phone books, aluminum cans, tin cans, clear glass, and plastics #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. They do not accept plastic bags, colored glass, medical bottles, bleach containers, or oil jugs. Biweekly curbside recycling pickup is also available for households that prefer home collection; call (515) 832-5516 or visit thetrashmanwebstercity.com to sign up.
For bottle and can deposits, L T Redemption at 300 2nd St is among the busiest redemption centers in north-central Iowa, processing 20,000–40,000 Iowa-deposit containers on a typical day. They redeem the 5-cent Iowa deposit on aluminum cans and carbonated or alcoholic beverage bottles from brands distributed by Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and 7-Up. Water, juice, tea, coffee, and Kirkland Signature containers are not eligible. Containers must be brought in clear plastic bags; free crates are available to borrow. L T Redemption is open Tuesday through Friday 9 AM–5 PM and Saturday 8 AM–noon; closed Sunday and Monday. Cash is paid immediately.
Mauser Packaging Solutions at 2001 Marvel St is a global industrial packaging company whose Webster City plant manufactures plastic profile shapes and participates in Mauser's worldwide drum and IBC (intermediate bulk container) recollection and recycling program. This is not a public drop-off site—it exclusively handles commercial and industrial packaging clients.
Residents seeking e-waste disposal, HHW, or tire recycling in Hamilton County should contact the county solid waste agency, as Webster City's current center roster does not cover those materials. Fort Dodge and Ames have additional recycling resources within reasonable driving distance for specialized materials.
