Elko Recycling
Elko Sanitation Company proudly offers a Commingled Recycling program in the City of Elko.
Why Commingled Recycling? Commingled recycling is easy, accepts a wide range of materials, and reduces the amount of trash that go into our landfill. In 2013, Elko Sanitation recycled over 482 tons!
Research shows participation and recycling levels increase when sorting is not required. Commingled recycling is more efficient because collection trucks can hold more materials in a single load. New recycling technology allows materials to be sorted at a central location.

PREPARATION IS KEY
A little bit of preparation goes a long way toward keeping our automated recycling trucks working for you and for the good of the planet. So, please keep recycling free of contamination, including garbage and food waste. Simply clean, rinse, dry and empty your recyclables. Contaminates like these can cause entire loads of otherwise clean recyclables to end up as garbage.
WHAT’S RECYCLABLE
Remember, a recycling symbol on an item doesn’t necessarily mean we can recycle it at the curb, or that there is a recycling market. For example, no glass will be collected with the comingled recycling program.
To help you separate what’s recyclable from what’s trash, follow the guidelines below:
