Recycling in Belleville: A Local Guide
Belleville, Illinois has two recycling businesses listed in its directory. Belleville Recycling Inc operates at 501 Hecker St, Belleville, IL 62221 (phone 618-233-2425), in the southern industrial corridor near Mascoutah Avenue. Its website (bellevillerecycling.com) was unreachable at time of research in October 2026 — the domain returned a connection-refused error — so current hours, accepted materials, and fee structures could not be independently verified. A second location, American Recycling Center LLC, is listed at 110 Iowa Ave, Belleville, IL 62220 (phone 618-235-0100). No website was found for this business either. Call ahead before visiting either location.
Based on their names and business categories, both operations are likely scrap metal or multi-material recycling buyers rather than free municipal drop-off centers. Scrap recyclers in Illinois typically pay cash for ferrous and non-ferrous metals (steel, copper, aluminum, etc.) and may accept other recyclables for a fee or for free depending on material and volume. They are generally not the right venue for household mixed recyclables like paper, cardboard, or plastic containers — those belong in the curbside Recycle cart provided by the City of Belleville or at a St. Clair County SCSWA drop-off site.
Belleville is the county seat of St. Clair County in the Metro East region of Illinois. For household recyclables, Belleville residents participate in the city's curbside single-stream program managed by the city's public works contractor. The Southwestern Illinois Solid Waste Agency (SCSWA) coordinates special waste events — including HHW and e-waste collection days — for St. Clair County residents. Nearby communities with recycling resources include Edwardsville in Madison County and O'Fallon in St. Clair County.
Residents who need to recycle electronics, appliances, or hazardous materials in the Belleville area should check SCSWA's upcoming event calendar or Illinois EPA's online recycling locator. Both Belleville Recycling Inc and American Recycling Center LLC are separate private businesses — neither is affiliated with the city's curbside program — and current operating status for both should be confirmed by phone before visiting.
