Please bring with you a current water bill or drivers license as proof of residency. If possible, seal items in their original containers or clearly label all items not in their original containers. Place items in a cardboard box that we can recycle for you. Wrap glass bottles in cloth or newspaper so that they do not break while transporting. Do not bring your items in plastic or cardboard boxes that you wish to keep, this increases the amount of time our staff spends unloading your vehicle and increases the wait for others. Follow directions once you reach the event site, drive carefully. When you arrive at the event staff will unload the HHW materials from your vehicle.  Please turn off your vehicle and stay inside your vehicle at all times. For more information, contact us during our business hours, 8 am - 5 pm - Monday through Friday, at 623-773-7836 or email us at Recycling@peoriaaz.gov.
