Recycling Center
Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility
Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility, 1023 Neal Road, Paradise, 95969, California
Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility on Neal Road in Paradise is the neighborhood recycling center people use when pickup bins won't cut it. Locals drop off everything from curbside recyclables to bulky cleanup items, and small haulers come through too.
The site feels like a working yard-big containers, piles of material, and a traffic flow that can bottleneck on weekends. There’s usually a booth at the entrance and a scale nearby, so plan for a quick check-in and a stop on the way out. The recycling containers and drop zones are out past the entrance, so pull in, stop at the booth, then head to the appropriate area. Unloading goes faster if materials are grouped into common categories like cardboard, metal, plastics and yard trimmings.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials into piles before getting out of the truck; it saves a lot of time at the drop-off.
- Go early on a weekday if possible - weekends and spring cleanups get long lines.
- Bring a helper and lifting straps or a tarp for loose loads, since unloading can be physical and the yard is spread out.
