You want to recycle it.
We'll tell you how.
Old batteries, leftover paint, broken electronics, expired medications — you know they shouldn't go in the trash, but figuring out what to do with them is surprisingly hard. Type any item and get a clear, specific answer for your city.
How It Works
Three steps. One real answer.
Type the item.
Anything. A dead battery, an old mattress, a bag of wine corks. If you've ever stood at the trash can unsure — start here.
We find the answer for your city.
Not a generic guide. Not a link to a PDF. We look up your exact city, your exact hauler, and what they actually accept.
You get a real address and real hours.
Drop-off location, facility name, hours of operation, and a link to the primary source — so you can verify it yourself.
Real Answers
This is what you get.
Not a suggestion. Not a maybe. A specific place, with specific hours, for your specific city.

No guessing.
No hedging.
No "check with your provider."
Every answer links to its primary source — the hauler's website, the city ordinance, the facility's own page.
Every answer carries a last-verified date, so you know how fresh the information is.
When we don't know, we say so. We'd rather tell you we're working on it than give you a wrong address.
