Recycling Program

The City of El Dorado Recycling Center is the largest in Butler County. We have a full staff to assist customers as they bring their recyclable materials to the center and staff that works independently on the collection, sorting, and processing of materials brought in through our Curbside Recycling Program.

The city also has contracted with Butler County to provide a recycling opportunity for many of the neighboring Butler County communities.
