Elk Grove Recycling Center

In Elk Grove, California, you have several options for recycling depending on whether you are disposing of daily waste, hazardous chemicals, or large bulky items.

1. Special Waste Collection Center (SWCC)

This is the main facility for residents to drop off items that cannot go into regular trash bins.

• Address: 9255 Disposal Lane, Elk Grove, CA 95624

• Hours: Saturday – Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Closed Thu/Fri)

• Accepted Items: * Hazardous Waste: Paint, batteries, motor oil, pesticides, and pool chemicals.

  • E-Waste: TVs, computers, monitors, and cell phones.

  • Large Recyclables: Large scrap metal (pipes, bicycle frames), appliances, and cardboard.

2. Residential Bulky Waste Pickup

If you have items too large for your bin (like furniture or mattresses), you don't necessarily have to drive to a center.

• Service: Republic Services offers 3 free bulky pickups per year for residents.

• How to Schedule: Call (916) 635-2500 to make an appointment.

• Limit: Up to 5 cubic yards of material (about the size of a pickup truck bed).

3. Curbside Used Motor Oil

You can recycle used motor oil and filters right at your curb.

• Requirement: Use a city-provided oil recycling kit or a clear plastic jug.

• Instruction: Place it next to your recycling cart on your normal pickup day (no appointment needed).

4. Scrap Metal & CRV (Cash for Cans)

While the SWCC accepts metal for recycling, you can visit these private facilities if you are looking for a CRV refund or have large amounts of scrap:

• Valdez Recycling: 9615 Sheldon Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624.

• SA Recycling: Located in nearby Sacramento (Fruitridge Rd) for industrial-scale scrap.
