Get Directions

Hanford Recycling is the local recycling center on Garner Avenue where residents and small businesses drop off their recyclables. People bring everything from cardboard and mixed paper to bottles, cans and scrap metal, and it’s the kind of place neighbors use when they’ve cleaned out a garage or finished a project.

Drive in and follow the lane past a small entrance booth; there’s a scale you cross when coming in or going out so expect to stop briefly. Recycling bins and compactors sit to the right after the booth, with larger piles and sorting areas further back-it’s a working yard, not a showroom. Vehicles pull up to different spots depending on material, so be ready to hop out and move items; loose loads should be secured and easy to hand off. Weekends and spring-cleanup days get busy, so there can be a short wait to get to the drop-off point.

Before You Go

  • Bring materials pre-sorted by type-paper/cardboard, glass, plastic, metal-so unloading goes faster and there’s less shuffling in the yard.
  • Keep loose items contained (boxes, bins or tied bundles) so they don’t blow around when parked in line or when unloading.
  • Plan for a possible wait on weekends or during community cleanups; arrive early or midweek if trying to avoid lines.
