Alachua County Rural Collection Center

A no-frills county collection spot on US‑441 that local residents use for household loads and yard cleanup. It handles the kinds of drop-offs neighbors bring after projects, weekend cleanups and storm debris. Located just outside High Springs, it’s the practical place people in the area go when the trash won’t fit in the curbside can.

Drive in past a small entrance booth and be ready to pull up for directions and a quick check of the load. There’s usually a scale and a second stop where vehicles line up to unload into large open piles and roll-off containers. Recycling and yard waste sections are separate and fairly obvious - look for rows of bins and mulch/brush piles off to one side. Expect a working, utilitarian site: gravel or paved bays, heavy equipment moving material, and traffic that gets heavier on weekends and after storms.
