Every
residential customer in Meridian has access to curbside recycling services as
part of basic weekly collection services. Collection
occurs on the same day as your regular garbage collection.
Please
have your recycling set out by 7:00 A.M. and within 5 feet of the curb or alley
on your collection day. Please set the bin beside your trash cans in plain
view for your recycling driver.

Recyclables
need to be placed in the bin sorted within paper sacks. If you would like a recycling bin and
instructions on how to sort the material please call us at

All
revenue that comes from resale of the material is returned to the City of
Meridian to pay for the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program and for
recycling projects throughout the city.
To date, these funds have helped pay for playground equipment, bleachers,
bicycle racks, and picnic tables in parks and schools throughout the City.
The
more you recycle the better Meridian becomes!
