Brisbane Recycling Co., Inc. is a small recycling center in Brisbane that locals use to drop off household recyclables. Neighbors bring everything from single-stream bags to boxed-up cardboard and occasional bulky metal pieces.
There’s a small entrance booth and a scale you’ll pass on the way in - they charge by weight so expect to stop again when you leave. The drop-off bins are visible from the drive-up lanes; glass, paper, and cans tend to be separated into different containers. The site feels compact rather than industrial, with piles or bays for sorted materials and room to pull up and unload. Weekends can get backed up, especially during spring cleanup, so be prepared for a short wait.

Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into paper/cardboard, glass/ceramics, and mixed containers to speed unloading.
- Tie or box loose items so they don’t blow around during unloading; a tarp helps with dusty or windy days.
- Try to visit early on a weekday if possible - lines and wait times are noticeably shorter than on weekend mornings.
