Recycling in Torrington: A Local Guide
Torrington is the county seat of Goshen County in southeastern Wyoming, and it is served by a community-run recycling drop-off at 310 Curtis Ave. Two listings cover this address — the nonprofit ELK Eco Cycle and the City of Torrington Recycling Center — but they refer to the same physical facility. The City of Torrington's own website explicitly states that the site is not operated by the city; it is run by ELK Eco Cycle in partnership with Goshen Economic Development.
Elk Eco Cycle Recycling Center accepts pre-sorted aluminum cans, rinsed steel cans, flattened cardboard, and loose paper products (newsprint, magazines, junk mail, brown paper, and white office paper). Self-serve depositories for cans and cardboard are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Staff assistance and paper drop-off are available Monday through Friday during morning hours (typically 8–10 AM). No fee is charged; the center is sustained by voluntary donations.
City of Torrington – Recycling Center is the municipal listing for the same 310 Curtis Ave site. It confirms the 24/7 self-serve depositories and the nonprofit operation by ELK Eco Cycle. The center serves Torrington, all of Goshen County, and surrounding Wyoming communities — no residency restriction applies. Plastics of any kind and glass are not accepted at either listing. Call (307) 532-1026 with questions.
