Hayward Recycling Center

Hayward has a well-organized recycling center network, but recent shifts in facilities (like the permanent closure of the Sun Street station) mean residents often rely on the Enterprise Avenue and Madison Lane hubs.

Bottles & Cans (CRV)

If you want to redeem your 5¢ and 10¢ deposits for cash, Hayward has several high-volume buy-back centers:

• Fry's Metals

  • Address: 23336 Saklan Rd, Hayward, CA 94545

  • Details: A local staple since 1928. They accept aluminum, glass, and plastic bottles. Note: Items must be sorted before you arrive.

• Ming's Recycling

  • Address: 3495 Breakwater Court, Hayward, CA 94545

  • Details: This is a large, mostly indoor facility (convenient for rainy days) that handles high volumes of CRV and scrap.

• Alco Iron & Metal

  • Address: 2140 Davis St, San Leandro, CA 94577 (Just north of Hayward)

  • Details: While technically in San Leandro, many Hayward residents use this for combined scrap metal and CRV drop-offs.

Scrap Metal & Industrial

For heavy-duty recycling like copper piping, brass, or old appliances:

• Sims Metal

  • Address: 30104 Industrial Pkwy SW, Hayward, CA 94544

  • Services: One of the largest scrap yards in the area. They provide safety gear for offloading and pay competitive rates for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

• GreenWaste Hayward Transfer Station

  • Address: 3458 Enterprise Ave, Hayward, CA 94545

  • Services: Ideal for construction and demolition debris. Note: There is typically a half-ton minimum charge here.

  •  Electronics & Hazardous Waste

Hazardous materials and electronics are handled by StopWaste and specialized local recyclers.

• Hayward Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility

  • Address: 2091 West Winton Ave, Hayward, CA 94545

  • 2026 Hours: Thurs–Fri (9:00 AM – 2:30 PM), Sat (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM)

  • Details: Free for residents to drop off paint, batteries, motor oil, and chemicals. No appointment is needed, but you must stay in your vehicle.

• Rica Recycling (E-Waste)

  • Address: 27105 Industrial Blvd, Hayward, CA 94545

  • Services: Offers free drop-off for computers, monitors, and TVs. They charge a fee for large appliances ($50) and microwaves ($10).

 Bulky Items & Free Disposal

• Free Bulky Item Pickup: Most Hayward residents (single-family through fourplexes) are entitled to two free curbside pickups per year. Call Waste Management at (510) 537-5500 to schedule.

• Disposal Days: The city occasionally hosts "Free Disposal Days" at the Enterprise Ave Transfer Station (usually the second Saturday of June, August, and October). Pre-registration is required.
