Antelope Valley Recycling and Disposal Facility

A local recycling center in Palmdale that handles drop-offs for people trying to keep things out of the landfill. Neighbors, small contractors and households use it for bulk recycling and common curbside extras; it's not a transfer station or landfill itself.

Drive in to 1200 W. City Ranch Road and pull up to the entrance booth; there’s usually a scale involved so expect to stop again on the way out. The recycling bins and sorting areas are visible from the entrance, with open tipping areas and rows of containers for different materials. Because this is in California, many items need to be separated-paper/cardboard, bottles/cans and bulky recyclables are commonly handled at places like this, and there may be programs for electronics or special drop-offs. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, so lanes and the yard can feel crowded.
