Recycling in Dallas: A Local Guide
Dallas, Texas has 8 recycling-related locations in our directory, weighted toward commercial and industrial recyclers: several scrap-metal yards, a dedicated electronics recycler, and the city's own convenience drop-off. For everyday household recycling, the City of Dallas Sanitation Services runs a weekly single-stream blue roll-cart program. The city says the blue cart accepts mixed paper, cardboard, plastic containers, metal cans, glass bottles and jars, and cartons, placed loose without bags; contaminants like Styrofoam, yard debris, and tangling cords can get your cart left unemptied with an orange tag. Request a cart or ask questions through 311. For the statewide picture, see our Texas recycling hub.
By category, the metals recyclers are the backbone of the list: CMC Recycling (two locations), SA Recycling, and Dalmex Recycling are all scrap-metal operations. Texas Electronics Recycling on Denton Dr specializes in e-waste, and the city-operated Customer Convenience Recycling Center on Youngblood Rd is a public drop-off. Prices, hours, and exactly what each site accepts vary, so check each center's page to confirm what it accepts.
