Downtown Durham is creative, community-minded, and constantly evolving, and The ReCollective helps residents match that spirit with everyday sustainability. We provide convenient doorstep pickup for hard-to-recycle materials that don’t belong in the curbside cart, including styrofoam, plastic film, textiles, small electronics, and batteries. Households can also add food scrap collection with options for either twice-monthly or weekly service, making it even easier to reduce waste.
Whether you live near American Tobacco, Central Park, Golden Belt, the Warehouse District, or in one of the surrounding downtown neighborhoods, our team makes it simple to keep valuable materials out of the landfill with reliable local service. Members can choose flexible monthly plans or discounted annual pricing, and every pickup includes clean collection bags, responsible processing, and partnerships with trusted local recycling and reuse organizations.
If you live in or around Downtown Durham and want an easier way to recycle and compost more, this is the simplest way to make a meaningful impact.
