Single Stream Recycling
Recycling is a partnership between the City of Urbandale and the Metro Waste Authority. Single stream recycling uses a recycling container like your current trash container. The containers are picked up every other week on your normal garbage collection day. Urbandale collection is the Black Lid Schedule.
To request a different container size or for more information on the single stream recycling program, contact Waste Management at (515) 24-GREEN (244-7336).
