Recyclable Items
All League City utility customers can request a recycling bin one of two ways. You can either call Ameriwaste directly and ask them to deliver one or you can pick one up at City Hall. We suggest that you call ahead to ensure that we have some available. Should your recycling bin need to be replaced you can pick up a new one at City Hall.
Designated recycling days are on the recycling routes map available here.
Paper:
All types, including news-paper, magazines, cardboard and corrugated paper.
Cans:
Aluminum, tin, and steel.
Metal:
Aluminum foil and some scrap metal.
Plastic:
Marked Numbers 1-7, including milk, water, detergent and juice jugs and plastic soft drink bottles.
Glass:
We DO NOT accept glass of any kind in curbside recycling. Glass creates many serious safety problems during the recycling processes of delivery and sorting. A glass recycling drop off bin is located at the League City Public Works building at 1535 Dickinson Ave. Glass Recycling can be dropped off 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Recycle Center:
The Vehicle Maintenance Department, located at 1535 Dickinson Avenue, maintains a recycle center where residents can bring their regular recycling, used oil, oil filters, antifreeze, glass (separate your clear and colored), and automotive batteries. The center is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week!
Heavy Trash Pickup
Heavy Trash pickup is the second garbage pickup day for each subdivision.
For example: If your garbage days are Tuesday & Friday. Heavy Trash pickup would be on Friday.
If you’re looking to unload a refrigerator, air conditioner or other cooling device, you’ll have to deal with Freon disposal as well. The item must be tagged by the freon removal company before it will be picked up.
