Sedona Recycles, Inc. is a local recycling center in Sedona that people bring household recyclables to rather than hauling them to a landfill. Neighbors, landscapers and small businesses drop off material here to keep things out of the desert dumps. The climate in Arizona means dusty, dry conditions, so expect the site to reflect that weather.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth where vehicles pause before entering the main yard. There’s usually a scale at these kinds of centers, so plan for a short stop-in, stop-out routine rather than a quick pull-through. The lot is open and exposed, with sorting bays, roll-off containers and stacks of bales or pallets visible from the drive aisle. Weekends and seasonal cleanups tend to be the busiest times, so lines and waiting trucks are common then.

- Bring gloves and a mask if handling dusty items; the dry Arizona air and open yard can kick up a lot of dust.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible; midweek visits usually have shorter waits than weekend or holiday afternoons.
