Small-town recycling center used mostly by Mountain Home residents and folks from the surrounding county. It focuses on keeping common recyclables out of the landfill and tends to get busier on weekends and during spring cleanup.
Drive up the short lane off County Road 466 into a compact lot with big open-top bins and a few covered cages for different materials. There are the usual drop-off piles for paper and cardboard, separate containers for cans and bottles, and often a spot for scrap metal and bulky items. A scale and an attendant booth are common at centers like this, so expect to slow down as vehicles line up to unload. The site looks functional rather than tidy - gravel or paved pulls, a handful of signs, and equipment nearby.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and bundle materials at home: cardboard flattened, paper in a box, cans and bottles in a bag - it speeds unloading and keeps lines moving.
- Bring gloves and something to secure loads; loose items can blow around in open bins and on windy days.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; weekday mid-mornings usually have shorter lines during local cleanup seasons.
