Recycle Moore!

The City of Moore now offers opportunities for residents to recycle household waste and hazardous waste!

The Recycle Moore facility is located at:  400 N. Telephone Road

Hours of operation are: M-F 8am-5pm & Saturday 10am-2pm

This facility is temporary. By early 2011, the Temporary Recycling Facility will be transformed into the permanent “Recycle Moore Facility”, a manned drop-off recycling facility with expanded hours of operation. The Recycle Moore Program is funded through the US Department of Energy using ARRA stimulus grant funds.

The Recycle Moore Facility accepts the following recyclables:

• Mixed Fibers: newspaper, cereal boxes, office paper, magazines, junk mail, cardboard, etc. PLEASE BREAKDOWN YOUR CARDBOARD BOXES. 
• Plastics 1 & 2: Soft drink and juice bottles, water bottles, mouthwash bottles, peanut butter containers, salad dressing containers, vegetable oil bottles, milk containers, bleach, detergent, and shampoo bottles, grocery and retail carrying bags, motor oil bottles, butter and margarine tubs, household cleaner bottles, yogurt containers, and cereal box liners.
