What Does Disability.gov Do?

Disability.gov is the federal government website for comprehensive information on disability programs and services in communities nationwide. The site links to more than 14,000 resources from federal, state and local government agencies; academic institutions; and nonprofit organizations. You can find answers to questions about everything from Social Security to employment to affordable and accessible housing.

New information is added daily across 10 main subject areas – Benefits, Civil Rights, Community Life, Education, Emergency Preparedness, Employment, Health, Housing, Technology and Transportation.

Disability.gov is a web portal, which means every time you select a resource, you will be directed to another website. A PDF version of our fact sheet is available in the Newsroom.

Our online Recycling Directory is the most accurate and comprehensive directory of its kind and contains recycling information for over 300 different consumer products. We have collected over 1 million recycling locations and programs that people can search for to find their nearest recycling options and resources. We also have a toll-free and bilingual hotline (1-800 CLEANUP) and a free mobile application (iRecycle®).

We work with various corporate and industry partners to support this directory, which requires a significant investment to maintain and update on a daily basis. The information we provide through our directory, editorial, and resources maintain a strict neutrality policy and we take the distribution of fact-based, informational and actionable content very seriously.

Featured on popular venues like the Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America and The New York Times, and syndicated by cool people like MSN.com, National Geographic and the Huffington Post, we want everyone to know that recycling is easy, and sometimes (dare we say) fun.
