The Rooney Road Recycling Center is split into two sections: one for organic materials and one for hazardous materials.
The organics side collects brush, wood waste, grass, leaves, combustible slash, etc. This portion of the recycling center is open seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (please make final drop-offs by 4:45 so the center can close promptly). There is no appointment necessary when dropping materials off. To contact them directly, please call 303-710-9120.
The hazardous materials side will accept most types of household hazardous waste materials. Many household chemicals pose a serious health hazard if not properly handled, stored and disposed. This portion of the recycling center is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays only, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. You must make an appointment when bringing materials to the hazardous side. Please call the office at 303-316-6262 (open Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) for questions or to schedule an appointment.
