Oklahoma City has a good logical system.

I can take all hazardous waste like motor oil, antifreeze, old paint cans, un-used pesticides and the like to a nice clean facility that is manned. I just pull into the building and they unload the stuff for free. All I have to do is show them my water bill.

As for newspaper, plastic, aluminum and the typical non toxic household recyclable stuff I have a city provided blue bin that I put on the curb in front of my house and it will be picked up every Monday. That is the same day as my regular trash pickup.

For large bulk waste like water heaters, tree limbs or old fences I can put that on the curb once every other month. If it is less than 6 cubic yards it is free. Well, OK it is just included in my water-sewage-trash bill. If it is over 6 cubic yards there is an additional fee.

Since I have an El Camino and a dumpster at work I usually just take the little bit of yard waste I have to work and not clutter up the front of my house. Most of my yard waste I have fits into one of the two big blue roll around trash cans the city provides.

If I have something I consider to be useable like an old toilet, lighting fixtures, old furniture and the like I just put that on the curb in front of my office in an industrial area. There is a large food processing plant just down the street. Anything I put out there next to the dumpster is gone in short order. That is the ultimate re-cycle, let someone else get some use out of it.
