Curbside Recycling FAQ
We offer weekly collection of trash and recycling in the unincorporated areas of La Plata County.
We offer the standard 96 gallon cart as well as a 64 gallon cart for people who produce less trash. The smaller cart is offered at a discounted rate to encourage greater recycling.
The carts should be placed where they are initially delivered. Please note, this may mean across the street/road from your house. There should be at least 3 feet of space between your trash & recycle carts. Follow the directions on the placard adhered to your trash cart for placement.
All of your recycling except glass can be mixed together for collection. Rinse containers; do not bag in plastic bags.
Please see our Recycling Guidelines for details.
The City of Durango has a free drop-off location for mixed glass at 710 Tech Center Drive, 24/7. Dropping off your glass while you are in town is the most economical option and also results in the lowest carbon footprint. We also offer an on-call glass collection service on a monthly basis for customers who are unable to transport their glass; please call the office for more details.
Client Testimonials
Phoenix has never missed a beat in the four years we’ve been with them. They show up when they’re supposed to and the driver never complains when we have an “extra” item or two out by the cans. If we have a lot of extra garbage, we can call and they will send a special truck for the pickup. All in all, a five star experience!

First of all, the bills are accurate. There aren’t any hidden charges. Phoenix Recycling shows up on time every week. When I have scheduled extra pickups they have arrived within 10 minutes of the scheduled pickup time. They do not create a mess when they pick up the trash. The office staff is considerate and returns my phone calls promptly. It’s great having a local contact rather than speaking to someone in Houston.
