Arizona Recycling Center Allows Out-of-Area Residents to Recycle

A transfer station in Chandler, Ariz. typically requires photo identification and a utility bill proving residency for anyone looking to drop off products. But this is no longer the case for those wishing to drop off recyclables like cardboard.

The reason for the change in policy is that metals and paper are revenue generators that help off-set the costs of hauling off other solid waste to landfills. Identification will still be required for yard waste or construction debris.

Metal cans and office paper are accepted in Chandler’s curbside program, but cardboard boxes and large appliances (made largely of steel) would likely be too big for a bin.
