Glendale Recycling Center Recycling Center

In Glendale, California, recycling is managed by the City's Public Works department through the Glendale, CA Recycling Center and specialized programs for hazardous waste.

1. Glendale Recycling Center

This is the primary location for residents to drop off common recyclables and e-waste.

• Address: 540 W. Chevy Chase Dr., Glendale, CA 91204

• Phone: (818) 552-2870

• Hours: * Monday – Friday: 7:30 am – 4:45 pm

  • Saturday: 8:00 am – 3:30 pm

  • Note: On minor holidays like Memorial Day or Labor Day, the center often operates on reduced hours (typically until 2:30 pm).

What is Accepted:

• Cash Paid (CRV): Aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles labeled with CRV.

• Accepted for Free: Cardboard, newspapers, mixed paper, tin cans, scrap metal (copper, brass), and #1 & #2 plastic containers (like milk jugs).

• E-Waste (Free): Computers, televisions, cell phones, tablets, and batteries.

• Accepted for a Fee: Larger electronics and appliances with circuit boards (microwaves, printers, fax machines, vacuum cleaners).

2. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)

Items like paint, motor oil, and chemicals cannot be taken to the standard recycling center. These must go to the Environmental Management Center.

• Address: 780 Flower St., Glendale, CA 91201

• Hours: Open every Wednesday and the 2nd Saturday of each month, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm.

• Eligibility: Open to Glendale and La Cañada Flintridge residents only (bring a utility bill or ID).

• Items Accepted: Paint, solvents, motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides, pool chemicals, and mercury thermometers.

3. Curbside Programs

• Organics Recycling: Residents are now required to separate food scraps (meat, bones, produce, and food-soiled paper) into clear bags, knot them, and place them in the green bin with yard trimmings.

• Free Kitchen Pails: You can pick up a free organics recycling pail at the Public Works office (548 W. Chevy Chase Dr.) on Fridays between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm.

• Bulky Item Pickup: Single-family residents can schedule up to 10 free collections per year (4 items per collection). Multi-family residents (5+ units) are entitled to 4 free collections per year. Call (888) 888-0388 to schedule.

Pro-Tips for Glendale Residents:

• Plastic Bags: Do not place loose plastic bags in your blue recycling bin; they tangle in sorting machinery. Many local grocery stores (like Ralphs or Vons) have bins specifically for plastic film.

• Shredding: The city typically hosts a Free Shredding Event every March at the City Corporate Yard for sensitive documents.
