Where to Recycle
City of Norman Curbside Recycling
Beginning March 3, 2008, many households can recycle refuse in a bin set next to the trash polycart. Please see our Curbside Recycling page for details. If you live in an apartment complex or outside the recycling collection area, you can take your material to one of the Norman Recycling Centers.
