City Of Nixa Recycling Center
Recycling Center in Nixa, Missouri
About This Location
The City of Nixa Recycling Center, located at 1093 Eaglecrest Street in Nixa, Missouri, is a municipally operated drop-off facility serving residents inside Nixa city limits at no charge—the $1.50-per-month recycling fee is already included in every Nixa Utilities bill. The center accepts a wide range of household recyclables including cardboard, glass, aluminum cans, metal cans, magazines, newspapers, phone books, and plastic bottles, as well as large appliances such as dryers, stoves, and washers. A dedicated yard-waste area takes brush, grass clippings, leaves, and tree limbs (under six feet, no logs), which are converted into compost made available free to Nixa residents while supplies last. Neighbors just outside the city boundary who share the 65714 ZIP code may purchase a non-resident annual permit at City Hall for recycling drop-off, though yard-waste and compost access remains exclusive to city residents. Commercial businesses are not eligible to use the facility.
