Metro Area Recycling Directory

This Regional Directory of Recyclers is produced and updated by the Metropolitan Environmental Trust (The M.e.t.) Copies are available upon request by calling 918-584-0584.

The M.e.t. produces this directory for informational purposes only and inclusion should not be taken as an endorsement. The M.e.t. supports all recycling efforts and encourages everyone to recycle. The M.e.t. does not pay for recyclables but several area companies will pay for aluminum, metal and corrugated cardboard. Companies that pay are noted below.

This directory is only as good as the information we get from you. Our directory is updated in print form twice a year, and here on this web site as needed, but it is impossible to keep up with everyone in recycling. If you know of anyone who would like to be included in our directory, or if you know of any changes in our current list, please call the M.e.t. at 584-0584. The M.e.t. would be happy to list any and all businesses or organizations pertaining to the recycling industry.
