Recycling Center

Peak Disposal and Recycling

856 Washington St, Monument, CO 80132

(719) 481-2340

Small-town recycling center used by Monument residents and folks from nearby areas. Mostly seen by people dropping off curbside-style recyclables and seasonal cleanout loads. It’s the kind of place locals swing by with sorted bags, boxes and metal bits.

The site is compact rather than industrial - expect a single entrance lane, a small attendant booth and a row of recycling bins a short drive past the booth. Trucks and trailers pull in to drop off cardboard, mixed paper, glass, plastics and common scrap metal, and there’s usually a spot for electronics and batteries if the center runs special programs. The ground is mostly gravel and pavement, so bring gloves and closed-toe shoes for unloading. Weekends can stack up, especially in spring cleanup season, so traffic and waiting at the entrance are common.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials into clear piles before getting out of the vehicle - cardboard, mixed paper, glass/plastics and metal go to different bins and it speeds things up.
  • Bring help and straps for heavy items or bulky loads; lifting ramps and open-top bins make awkward pieces harder to manage solo.
  • Tarp loose loads and secure smaller items in boxes so things don’t blow around on the drive in; parking and maneuvering space can be tight when it’s busy.
