Recycling Overview

Del Norte Disposal provides FREE curbside recycling collection to all residential customers with weekly garbage collection service. Weekly curbside recycling is also available as a separate service throughout Del Norte county for just $3.93 per month.

After signing up for curbside recycling, Del Norte Disposal will provide an 18-gallon plastic container into which your recycling will be placed. Recyclables placed outside the container should be stack in a manner to prevent them from blowing away in the wind. Recycling collection will occur on the same day as normal garbage collection.
