Recycling Program

Bel Aire supports a City-wide recycling program. Residents are encouraged to recycle as much as possible to insure that resources can be conserved. Participation in the program is optional, but all residents have a recycling fee applied to their monthly utility bills. Clear plastic recycling bags are available at City Hall for all customers who participate in the recycling program. All recyclable items must be placed in these sealed bags and put on the curb no later than 7 a.m. on scheduled trash pickup days.

Recyclable materials must be separated into two bags with paper in one bag and metals, plastics and glass in another bag.

Metals, Plastics and Glass

Recyclable Plastics should bear a recyclable symbol and a number 1 or 2. All plastics without the recyclable emblem are not recyclable and should not be included.  All plastics must be rinsed all and all lids, rings and caps should be removed and placed in a separate clear plastic bag. Place all metal, plastic and glass recyclables in one clear plastic bag, separate from paper products. 

Disposing of Household Hazardous Waste

Bel Aire residents can dispose of old household chemicals and produces at the Sedgwick County Household Hazardous Waste Facility (HHW). Items that cannot be disposed of in the trash or recycle bin can be taken to the HHW Facility for proper disposal. Almost all chemical items from a residential house can be disposed of including: paint, aerosols, batteries, used oil, gasoline, antifreeze, pesticides, herbicides, garden chemicals, household cleaners, fluorescent bulbs, computers, and propane.

There is no charge for the use of the HHW Facility. This service is provided free to Sedgwick County residents to help prevent them from getting into the waste stream and polluting the environment. Businesses generating less than 55 pounds a month of hazardous waste are also eligible to use the Small Quantity Generator program at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility.
