Del Norte Recycling Center

Del Norte Recycling Center in Oxnard is a neighborhood recycling drop-off just off S Del Norte Blvd, used by homeowners and small haulers looking to keep stuff out of the landfill. It’s the kind of place people swing by with a carload of cardboard or a trunk of cans, not long-haul commercial trucks.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to pull into a lane - there’s usually a scale somewhere near the entrance/exit so vehicles are routed through twice. Recycling bays and sorting areas sit out in the open; expect piles or bins of cardboard, glass, metals and mixed recyclables nearby and room to back up to unload. The site is basically industrial-feel: concrete aprons, marked lanes, and signage telling where common items go. Weekends and spring-cleanup weekends tend to have lines, while weekday mid-mornings are often quieter.
