!Contamination Tips
Glass is Not Accepted
The Kingsville Recycling Center currently does not accept any glass products. Do not attempt to drop off glass bottles or jars, as they contaminate the clean, sorted materials.
Prep Your Plastics Properly
When preparing plastics #1 through #7 for the drop-off center, you must remove all lids and caps and thoroughly rinse the containers. Oil bottles and styrofoam are never allowed.
Keep Heavy Debris Out of Carts
Never place tires, concrete, dirt, heavy rocks, lumber, hot ashes, or contractor materials into your residential roll-out cart. These items will break the container and severely damage the truck's hydraulic mechanisms.

About Kingsville Waste Management
City of Kingsville's Direct Sanitation Service
Unlike many municipalities that contract out to private waste haulers, the City of Kingsville’s Public Works Department independently manages its own Sanitation Division. This local, dedicated crew directly services over 7,500 residential and commercial customers each month, ensuring dependable, hometown neighborhood solid waste collection.
Zoned Brush & White Goods Strategy
Kingsville tackles heavy yard waste and appliance disposal through a highly structured, zone-based seasonal schedule. Homeowners are required to place their brush and white goods out on the curb the weekend immediately prior to their specific zone's start date. Any piles set out after the crews have passed are considered late and will not be serviced.
Centralized Drop-Off Recycling Center
Rather than relying on curbside single-stream bins, the city emphasizes localized diversion through its dedicated Recycling Center at 1300 E. Corral Ave. By requiring residents to drop off and separate their materials—such as corrugated cardboard, plastics #1-7, and aluminum—the city severely reduces the contamination rates often seen in curbside programs.
Strict Roll-Out Placement and Alley Rules
To maintain clean neighborhoods and prevent property damage, Kingsville enforces strict cart placement rules. Roll-out carts must be spaced a full six feet from obstacles like mailboxes or parked cars, with the handle facing the house. Additionally, all alleyways must remain completely unobstructed by brush, debris, or bulk items at all times.
