Since 1971, the City of Naperville has provided its residents with a Recycling Drop-off Center. This service is free and provided through the city's contract with Resource Management.

In April 2009, the Recycling Drop-off Center moved to its new permanent location at the Public Works Service Center at the corner of Fort Hill Drive and Jefferson Ave.
