Recycling in St Peters: A Local Guide
St. Peters, in St. Charles County northwest of St. Louis, offers two publicly accessible recycling facilities that together cover a broad range of materials — from everyday household recyclables to scrap metal and electronics. The two sites are less than a mile apart in the Ecology Drive industrial corridor.
St. Peters Recycle City (131 Ecology Dr) is the municipally operated Aytes Community Recycling Center, open to anyone at no charge during daylight hours seven days a week. Outdoor containers accept newspapers, mixed paper, chipboard, corrugated cardboard, aluminum and tin cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastic bottles and jars (all resin numbers except black plastic and #4/#6). No appointment is needed for drop-off. The staffed office, which also handles a fee-based walk-in trash disposal service and issuance of St. Peters Resident Privilege Cards, is open Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:15 PM. Note that flat-screen TVs are no longer accepted at the drop-off containers.
Didion Orf Recycling Inc (206 Didion Dr), a short drive away, is a family-owned R2v3/RIOS-certified scrap metal and electronics recycler — the first metal recycling facility in Missouri to earn both certifications. The yard is open to residents and businesses alike (no residency requirement) Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 4:15 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to 11:45 AM. Accepted materials include ferrous metals (steel, appliances, vehicles), non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, lead), and electronic scrap including computers, laptops, monitors, CRT and flat-screen TVs, printers, and cell phones. Customers are paid for accepted materials at current commodity rates; no drop-off fee is charged.
