Recycling Center -Materials Recovery Facility
Laredo Solid Waste Recycling Division coordinates tours of the Landfill and Recycling Center. Interested citizens, students, and/or groups get to see how the landfill is operated to meet federal, state, and local regulations. Groups also learn how the disposal dells at the landfill are constructed to manage the waste appropriately. The Materials Recovery Facility is where the recycling materials are sorted and prepared for marketing to end-user manufacturers.If you'd like to schedule a tour of the MRF for your group or classroom you may do so by clicking the image and filling out the form.
MRF tours are available Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., except on city holidays.
Groups are encouraged to visit the MRF in the morning. (Depending on staff availability, tour hours can at times be extended to accommodate after school groups.)

How to place your recyclables for collection
Place your blue bags out by 7:00 a.m. on your assigned pick-up day or a night before.
Make sure no vehicle is blocking the recycle bags. It will not be collected if bags are blocked.
If you need recycling blue bags, call 796-1098, 795-2510, or 3-1-1 to request them.
Misusing blue bags or blue bins for materials other than recyclables can result in a fine.
"It's our duty to recycle!"
