Waste Management - Larimer County Recycling Center

Small county recycling center serving Fort Collins and nearby neighborhoods, mostly used by residents with drop-off loads and small trailers. Visitors tend to be local households cleaning out garages or folks doing seasonal cleanup, not commercial haulers.

The site looks like a working yard-drive up to an entrance booth/scale area and then follow signs to the different recycling bays. Expect rows of open-top containers and covered drop-off spots for things like cardboard, mixed cans and bottles, and yard debris; there are often separate areas for bulky items and electronics. It moves in a stop-and-go way: pull up, unload into the correct bin, then drive away and re-weigh if there’s a scale. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, while weekday mornings are usually quieter.
