Angelo's Recycled Materials is a neighborhood recycling center in Tampa that handles the kinds of things residents drop off to keep stuff out of the landfill. Locals bring everything from household recyclables to yard clippings, especially after storms. The site is used by homeowners and small-scale cleanups rather than big commercial haulers.
The property is the kind of working lot with a small entrance booth and a few open bays and roll-off areas; there’s usually a clear place to pull up and unload. Expect to see piles or containers for different materials and a scale or weighing area somewhere near the entrance/exit. Trucks and pickups back in or tip into larger bins while people with car trunks or small trailers sort out boxes and bags nearby. Weekends and post-storm days get noticeably busier, and there’s often a separate section for yard debris.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pre-sort recyclables into separate bags or piles before pulling in so unloading goes faster and others aren’t held up.
- Bring tarps or tie-downs for loose yard debris and secure loads; windy Florida weather makes loose material a mess on the drive in.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings or right after heavy rain/hurricane cleanup when lines and wait times swell.
