Recycling Information

To make recycling more convenient, the City of Hazelwood has negotiated its contract with Veolia Environmental Services, Inc., to provide a recycling cart to every one- and two-family resident in our community free of charge.

The City’s contract with Veolia provides for the pick-up of solid waste (trash) twice a week and recycling once-a-week. However, residents may reduce their monthly cost by choosing once-a-week trash pick-up and recycling.

Recycling Instructions
