Downtown Recycling Program

In October, the City updated its recycling ordinance, expanding cardboard recycling for the Downtown Business District. In the past, cardboard has been collected by an unofficial group of private recyclers, known as “cartoneros.” Under this amended ordinance, the City of Laredo Solid Waste Services will provide recycling collection services for all types of cardboard and paperboard, accepting a broader range of packaging than has been collected in the past.

In expanding the cardboard recycling program, the City had several goals. First, to divert more cardboard and paperboard from disposal. Second, to support the City’s overall recycling goals. And finally, to continue to enhance and beautify our Downtown Business District.
