Frequently Asked Questions About Our Recycling Center

Please reach out to the Leeds Town Office if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is zero-sort recycling?

Zero-sort recycling is an easy way to help get your items reused. Instead of having to sort things like plastics, newspapers, and cardboard, everything can go together! Later down the line, a processing facility will sort the recycling, ensuring everything is done properly.

What can I recycle in zero-sort?

Remember when recycling to only turn in clean and debris-free products. Packaging containing things like food waste will not be accepted by the final processing facility and often results in fewer products being recycled due to contamination issues. Stick to products like:

  • Corrugated cardboard (shipping boxes & large boxes) Must be broken down and flattened.
  • Boxboard (egg cartons, dry food boxes, & paper rolls)
  • Junk mail, office paper, & periodicals (never put paper containing sensitive information in recycling)
  • Clean plastic products (bottles, plastic containers, jugs, and more)
  • Clean glass bottles & jars

A simple rinse of your plastic or glass packaging dramatically increases its potential to be recycled.

What should I do with computers, TVs, monitors, mercury products, lamps, ballasts, and other electronics?

Don't ever put hazardous waste in your trash! Bring products like computers, monitors, TVs, batteries, mercury switches, lamps, light bulbs, and ballasts to the recycling center so they can be disposed of properly! There is no charge for Leeds residents! These products DO NOT GO in the zero-sort bin; please notify the attendant upon arrival for help.
