Recycling AARP Center

A straightforward recycling center in Bella Vista that locals use when the curbside bin won't do. People from nearby neighborhoods bring boxes, bottles and cans here to keep them out of the landfill. It’s the kind of place a neighbor points out when someone asks where to drop off extra recyclables.

Drive up Pinion Bluff and look for the small entrance booth and a few large roll-off bins and stacks of sorting containers. Pull up to the booth to let staff know what’s in the load, then follow signs to the appropriate bin areas; the recycling bins are usually grouped together rather than spread across the whole site. The site feels like a compact convenience center rather than a big transfer station-paved areas, a couple of traffic lanes, and visible piles or containers for different material types. Weekend and spring-cleanup times get noticeably busier, so lines can form at the drop-off lanes.
