Recycling in Ada: A Local Guide
Ada, the seat of Pontotoc County in south-central Oklahoma, has two recycling facilities within a few blocks of each other on the east side of town. One is a free municipal drop-off run by the City of Ada; the other is a commercial scrap-metal yard that pays for ferrous and general metal.
Ada Recycling Center at 330 E. 12th Street is the City of Ada's full-service public drop-off, operated with the volunteer-run Ada Recycling Coalition. The staffed center accepts plastics #1 and #2, aluminum cans, tin cans, paper, cardboard, and electronics — computers, monitors, TVs, telephones, and microwaves — on weekdays roughly 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM. Glass and ceramic are not accepted in the bins. Residents can also recycle around the clock at five self-serve trailers around town (Homer Elementary, the Chickasaw Nation Senior Center, Lazer Zone, and 4th and Broadway) that take paper, plastics #1–#2, aluminum, tin, and cardboard 24/7. Drop-off is free.
Ada Scrap Works at 326 E. 9th Street is a commercial scrap-metal buying yard that pays market rates for ferrous scrap — iron, steel, cast iron, and heavy melt — plus general scrap metal. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. This is not a free municipal drop-off; you bring metal to sell it, not to recycle household items. Call (580) 421-9506 for current prices before hauling a load in.
