Stone County Recycle Center

Stone County Recycle Center in Mountain View is the local spot for dropping off recyclables from the county and nearby areas. People who want to keep paper, bottles and cans out of the landfill usually stop here. It’s the kind of small, rural recycling center that sees a lot of weekend traffic during cleanup season.

Drive up to a compact site with outdoor roll-off bins and sorting areas rather than a big indoor facility. There’s typically a small booth or entrance point where vehicles funnel in, and bins are often grouped by material - cardboard, mixed containers, and metals separate from one another. Pull up, unload into the appropriate bin, and move on; the site looks more like a tidy gravel lot than a massive transfer station. Weekends and spring cleanups are busiest, so queues can form and maneuvering a trailer or truck takes a little extra patience.
