Recycling in Las Vegas: A Local Guide
Las Vegas has 35 recycling centers, scrap yards, and drop-off operations listed in our directory, making it the largest cluster of recycling options in Nevada. For everyday household recycling, the city does not run its own drop-off program — curbside collection is handled by Republic Services of Southern Nevada, which picks up paper, cardboard, metal cans, and plastic bottles and jugs from single-family homes on a weekly automated schedule. Items should be placed loose in the cart, never bagged, and empty, clean, and dry. Residents can look up their collection day and recycling week by entering their address at republicservices.com or by calling 702-735-5151.
Beyond curbside, the Las Vegas centers in our list skew heavily toward metal and auto recycling. Scrap-metal buyers such as SA Recycling (which runs several locations across the valley), Nevada State Recycle, and Champion Recycling pay cash for aluminum, copper, steel, and other metals. For electronics, Advanced Technology Recycling (ATR) handles e-waste, and the Blind Center of Nevada accepts computers and electronics as a nonprofit. Several listings are junk-car buyers and junk-removal services rather than public drop-off sites, so it is worth confirming what each takes before you load up.
