Mammoth Disposal and Recycle Center

Mammoth Disposal and Recycle Center is the local recycling center in Mammoth Lakes where residents and contractors drop off recyclables instead of sending them to the landfill. Neighbors bring everything from cardboard and bottles to bulky metal pieces and construction debris; the place gets used by homeowners, renters, and small contractors alike.

There’s a small entrance booth and a scale, so expect to slow down at the gate and possibly stop to weigh your load. The site is mostly open yard with piles and large bins; recyclable containers are grouped together and larger items usually have a separate area. On busy weekends lines can form, so plan for a short wait if it’s spring cleanup or ski-season turnover. Everything looks practical and a little rugged - not fancy - but it’s set up to move trucks and pickups through.
