Union County Recycling & Disposal Facility at 3083 Smackover Highway is the county recycling center serving El Dorado and nearby residents. Neighbors drop off household recyclables there and pull through with larger loads during seasonal cleanups.
It’s a no-frills, drive-up site with a small entrance booth and lanes for trucks and cars. Centers like this commonly accept paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metal, and many run occasional electronics or appliance collection events. Many sites have a scale near the entrance, so be prepared to stop for weighing if it’s in use and expect short pauses during busy times. The yard is outdoors with bins and roll-off containers, so secure loose items and watch for dust or mud after rain.
