Tucson Environmental Services

Tucson Environmental Services Go to https://www.tucsonaz.gov/environmental-services for more. Tucson recycles shredded paper, from your home or office.

The Mission of the Environmental Services Department is to promote a healthy Tucson community by providing innovative and effective waste management and environmental protection services. Did you know that virtually all magazines, catalogs and mail — including envelopes with plastic windows — can be recycled? When you purchase bottled water to take with you, remember to bring it back home and toss

it in your blue barrel. Just remember to put it in a clear plastic bag with a tie, so we can see what’s inside. We’ll recycle the paper and throw away the plastic bag, which reminds us...

Remember, plastic grocery and garbage bags CANNOT be recycled in your blue barrel — EVER! Take them to your local grocery store instead. See the newest list of recyclables here: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/recycle

Recycling doesn't happen by accident.♻️

Today we gathered at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus to celebrate the Mayor's proclamation of Waste & Recycling Workers Week and recognize the Environmental Services employees who help manage Tucson's waste every day. 💚♻️🚛

Surrounded by our landfill team, Ward 5 representatives, and Environmental Services leadership, we took a moment to thank the hardworking professionals whose efforts often happen behind the scenes but are crucial to our community.

🚛 Happy National Garbage Man Day!

Long before most of us start our morning, these hardworking professionals are out serving neighborhoods, navigating traffic, working through extreme temperatures, and providing an essential public service that many of us rely on without a second thought. 🚛

🚛♻️ Meet Maria, Environmental Services Operator

Follow along as Maria takes us through a day on Tucson's residential FoodCycle route from collecting food scraps in our neighborhoods across the city to delivering the material to Los Reales Sustainability Campus, where it can be composted instead of landfilled.

Maria's experience spans multiple areas of Environmental Services. Before working residential routes, she supported our commercial collection operations, helping serve Tucson businesses. Her work is helping residents divert food scraps from the landfill.

Thank you, Maria, for your service to the Tucson community. 💚

Most people only see the collection truck. Few see what happens next.

Every day, the team at Los Reales Sustainability Campus manages hundreds of thousands of tons of material while safeguarding the environment.

This Waste & Recycling Workers Week, we're thanking the landfill operators, scale attendants, mechanics, technicians, and support staff who keep this essential infrastructure running safely. 👏
