Waste Management - Steamboat Springs Hauling & Recycling Center

Waste Management - Steamboat Springs Hauling & Recycling Center is the local recycling drop-off on Downhill Drive that people from town and nearby ranches use for household recyclables and larger cleanouts. It’s a straightforward place for getting rid of things that don’t belong in the landfill, from cardboard to common metal and plastic items.

Drive up the driveway and look for an entry booth and a scale-there’s usually a place to stop and let staff know what’s in the load. The recycling bins and roll-off containers are off to the right past the entrance area; it looks industrial, with gravel surfaces and big metal containers. Weekends and spring cleanup season tend to be the busiest, so lines at the gate are common. Bring items roughly sorted by material to move through the station faster and watch for forklifts or trucks when walking around the drop-off area.
