Bowie's Recycling Program: Simple Steps for a Greener Community

Bowie takes its recycling program seriously, offering residents an easy and efficient way to reduce waste and support environmental sustainability. The city provides single-stream recycling, meaning all recyclable materials—such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals—can be placed in the same bin. Collection occurs weekly, with dedicated trucks picking up recyclables directly from the curb. The program also includes yard waste recycling, where residents can dispose of grass clippings, leaves, and small branches.

Bowie’s commitment to reducing landfill waste is further emphasized through special events like electronics recycling and household hazardous waste collection days. By participating in Bowie’s recycling program, residents not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also help the city achieve its sustainability goals.
