The City of Hickory offers residential curbside recycling service which is picked up once a week on the same day as garbage collection. If you have a problem with collection, are in need of a recycling bin, or have questions concerning what can be recycled call the Solid Waste Manager at 323-7439 or email jyvars@ci.hickory.nc.us.

The City also operates two recycling drop-off centers. The center located on 9th Avenue NE beside Fire Station #2 is open 24 hours and accepts aluminum cans, newspapers, green, brown, and clear glass, and cardboard. The Solid Waste Transfer Station located at 1050 1st Avenue SW is open Monday - Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. This drop-off center accepts aluminum cans, newspapers, green, brown, and clear glass, cardboard, used motor oil, and antifreeze.  Do not bring non-recyclable trash to either of these facilities.
