Welcome to COPE’S Recycling Resources Directory!
Inside you will find a variety of information which will direct you to the
appropriate person and/or organization that may be able to assist you with
your recycling inquiries. See the Table of Contents for the section most
appropriate for meeting your recycling needs.
COPE has worked to make this directory as complete as possible. However,
due to the amount of information provided by some states, we did cut some
corners. For example, in the more populated states buy-back and drop-off
recycling centers may be listed only for those communities with larger
populations. In order to find out about recycling centers in smaller
communities within such states simply contact the regional recycling
coordinator. Also, not all states were able to provide both a list of recycling
contacts and recycling centers. Again, contact the state recycling coordinator
to obtain any missing information.
(”-7? -f I A l l listings may not be current. Some businesses may no longer be in
operation and/or names of recycling coordinators may have changed. Please
notify us of any changes or additions by filling out the Changes and Additions
Form in the back of the Directory. We will continue to update the lists on a
regular basis.
w e h ope you will find this directory to be informative and useful. If you
have any questions about this directory, please call COPE at 202/331-0099.
COPE would like to thank the state recycling coordinators who helped in
gathering information for this effort.
