About RecycleDir

RecycleDir is a directory of verified recycling and disposal options across major US metro areas. We cover electronics recycling, battery disposal, and paint disposal — with structured data so you can compare costs, restrictions, and services at a glance.

Why We Built This

Finding where to responsibly recycle electronics, dispose of old batteries, or get rid of leftover paint is frustrating. Government-run pages list facilities but don't help you compare. Private recyclers only tell you about their own services. Phone books are dead. Search results are cluttered with junk.

RecycleDir exists to fix that. One place. Structured data. Every listing researched, every detail verified.

How We Verify Listings

Every listing on RecycleDir is researched using multiple sources:

• Official city, county, and state government websites
• Recycler and disposal company official websites
• Direct contact with the operator where their published information is unclear
• Google Maps, Yelp, Chamber of Commerce listings
• State environmental agency records for each metro's own state

Each listing carries the date it was last checked, shown on the listing itself. If you find an error, let us know and we'll fix it within 48 hours.

We don't advertise a re-checking schedule. This site used to promise a 90-day cycle and never once met it, which is the kind of claim it exists to argue against. What it does instead is date every listing and say plainly when that date has aged.

Where that leaves things today: the most recent check anywhere in the directory was May 19, 2026, about 3 months ago. Nothing here has been re-checked since, so treat hours and fees as a starting point and call before you load the car. Each facility page states its own age.
