A wide range of metal household items will be accepted, including refrigerators, air conditioners, bicycles, metal cabinets, appliances, aluminum scrap, and more. For safety reasons, refrigerator doors must be removed before drop-off.

Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Lourdes M. Leon emphasized the environmental importance of the county’s recycling initiatives. “Our annual recycling events have helped reduce landfill waste while giving new life to old, broken, or unused materials. These efforts continue to benefit both our residents and the environment,” she stated.

The 2026 schedule of countywide recycling events is expected to be released by January 1, 2026, officials confirmed.
