Recycling in Brooklyn: A Local Guide
Brooklyn is served by New York City's mandatory curbside recycling program, and this directory adds 37 facilities for the materials curbside doesn't cover — scrap metal, container redemption and specialty reuse. NYC requires residents to separate paper, metal, glass and plastic, so these drop-off and buy-back sites mainly handle deposits, bulk metal and hard-to-recycle items.
Bottle and can redemption is available at sites like Thrifty Beverage Center and the community-based Sure We Can, while metal is handled by Urban Metal Recycling and Cooper Tank & Welding. The New York overview covers the wider state.
Across the rest of the city, additional facilities are listed in Manhattan, the Bronx, Flushing and Long Island City.
