Recycling in

Nacogdoches

 We encourage Nacogdoches citizens to recycle the items listed below in either of these two locations: 

(1) behind the C. L. Simon Recreation Center (1112 North Street) OR (2) at the city landfill (4602 NW Stallings Dr.).  

PAPER   Newspapers, magazines, mail flyers, ads, phone books, office paper  (includes glossy prints). Please place paper loose in the recycle bins - do not use plastic sacks or boxes.

CARDBOARD    Please flatten boxes, if possible.

PLASTICS       NEW!      All No. 1 and No. 2 plastics, including milk jugs, water and soda bottles.   Please rinse, drain and crush, if possible.  Do not need to remove labels.

NEW!  Electronics Recycling available in the small building at the City Recreation Center Location ONLY  (Limited hours)

ELECTRONICS   Computers (towers and laptops), monitors, printers, cables, mice, keyboards, DVD/VCR players, cameras, projectors, radios, telephones, cell phones, small household appliances (blenders, toasters, coffee makers, vacuum cleaners, etc.), flat screen TV's ONLY.  No microwaves or old-style large TV's at this time, please.  KNB partners with STS Recycling in Jacksonville to provide this opportunity. Since STS offers certification that information on computer hard drives is destroyed according to DOD standards, we must provide secure drop-off times.  Hours are Thursdays 9 am - noon and the second Saturday of each month, also 9 am - noon.

Other Recycling in Nacogdoches:

Glass may be taken to the Habitat ReStore, 600 Powers Street in Nacogdoches. A non-profit company recycles glass products for re-sale, with profits benefitting Habitat for Humanity.  The ReStore also accepts metals and new or gently used building materials and appliances to be resold or used in Habitat homes.

Aluminum cans are accepted at the Animal Shelter (3211 SW Stallings Dr) and the Senior Center (621 Harris St) to help raise funds to support their programs. Rinse and dry cans. Crushing is acceptable, but not required.

Yard Waste  Leaving grass clippings on the lawn and allowing them to work their way back into the soil produces a greener lawn. Developing a compost pile is another way to save time, energy and money.  For more information check with the Nacogdoches County Master Gardeners and the County Extension Agency.  Brush and lawn debris may be taken to the City landfill at no cost with a City water bill.

Ink Cartridges - take to Staples store for a rebate, Christ Episcopal School (fund-raiser), Keep Nacogdoches Beautiful (fund-raiser), or Cartridge World for a refund or refill. 

Styrofoam Peanuts are accepted by the UPS Store (University Drive) or Wrap It Up Store (Main St, downtown). 

Car Batteries may be taken to a battery retailer such as auto part stores or Wal-Mart.  

Household Batteries may be recycled at Staples or Radio Shack.

Power Tool & Lawn Mower Batteries (Rechargeable) are accepted and recycled by Lowes. 

Motor Oil  Must be pure motor oil with no other types of oil combined. Drain the oil into a clean container and take to one of the used-oil locations listed below.
