Frequently Asked Questions

What plastics does the Milwaukee Ave recycling center accept?

Only plastics #1 (PET — most water and soda bottles) and #2 (HDPE — milk jugs, detergent bottles). Plastics #3 through #7 are not accepted at any City of Lubbock drop-off.

Can I drop off an old sofa or mattress at 7308 Milwaukee Ave?

Yes — the Citizens Convenience Station accepts oversized bulky household items like mattresses, sofas, and garage doors that are too large for a standard curbside bin. City utility-customer ID is required.

Does the Southside station accept e-waste or electronics?

No. Electronics are not accepted at the Citizens Convenience Stations. Check the City of Lubbock Solid Waste Management page or local e-waste events for electronics recycling options in Lubbock.
