Waste Management - DRPI Landfill & Recycling Center

198 Marsh Ln, New Castle, DE 19720

(866) 909-4458

Small but active facility in New Castle used by homeowners and contractors dropping off recyclables and bulky items. Located on Marsh Lane, it handles typical curbside-type materials and larger things that don't fit at the curb. Most users are locals doing cleanouts, yard projects, or hauling recyclables from small jobs.

A drive-up entrance with a manned or unmanned booth and a scale where vehicles pause on the way in and again on the way out - charges are usually weight-based at sites like this. Recycling bays and sorting areas sit to the right after the entrance, with larger roll-off containers and open tipping areas visible beyond. The place is industrial: paved lots, concrete barriers, trucks coming and going, and piles or rows of separated material. There are often seasonal programs at centers like this for electronics, metal, or yard waste, so look for temporary drop-off stations or signs when those events are running.

Before You Go

  • Bring loads already sorted-paper/cardboard separate from glass and plastics makes the drop-off faster and less fumbling in traffic.
  • Secure loose material and cover loads if transporting mulch, soil, or shredded debris to avoid spills on the drive and delays at the booth.
  • Avoid weekend mid-morning if possible; spring and fall cleanup days get long lines, so early mornings or late afternoons on weekdays tend to move quicker.
