Get Directions

Novato Recycling at 7576 Redwood Blvd is the neighborhood recycling center people in Novato use when curbside won't handle something. Neighbors drop off stuff from garage cleanouts, apartment moves, and small job sites; it's the practical place for extra cardboard, cans and other recyclables.

Pull into the lot off Redwood Boulevard and follow the traffic flow-on busy days there’s a bit of queuing. The site looks like a working yard with large containers and vehicle lanes; at centers like this there’s usually a small office or booth near the entrance and clear signs for different materials. Commonly accepted items at recycling centers include cardboard, paper, glass, metals and many plastics, and many places run special programs for e-waste, batteries or bulky-item recycling. Weekends and spring-cleanup periods get busy, so expect lines during those times.

Before You Go

  • Pre-sort cardboard, mixed paper, glass and cans at home into separate piles - it cuts unloading time and avoids juggling boxes in the truck.
  • If hauling a truckload, strap things down and have a tarp ready so things don’t shift while waiting in line or driving home.
  • Aim for midweek or later in the afternoon to dodge the longest waits; mornings and weekends are the busiest.
