Jacksonville Recycling Center

Small-town recycling center serving Jacksonville residents and nearby rural areas. People drop off household recyclables and bulk items here instead of hauling them to the landfill. It’s the kind of place neighbors stop by with cardboard, cans, and old metal when cleaning out the garage.

Pull into a drive-up area and look for large collection containers and sorting bays where common recyclables like cardboard, paper, plastics, glass, and scrap metal are placed. There is typically a small attendant booth or scale near the entrance where staff check loads and direct where items go. The site has open outdoor bays and big roll-off style bins rather than indoor sorting lines, so expect to get out of the vehicle to drop items. Weekends and spring cleanup times often see longer lines and more cars stacked up.
