Rules at every Citizen Collection Station
The five stations serve El Paso residents only, and a visitor brings a station pass, a current water bill and an ID with the same address; recyclables, cooking oil and live holiday trees need no water bill. Free mulch, reusable paint and tool loans are city-wide programs rather than anything particular to Central. The full rules, limits and closures are on the El Paso Environmental Services page.
