Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Angelo's Recycled Materials is a local recycling center on Fairbanks Street that people bring household and yard loads to when they want to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors, landscapers, and anyone cleaning out a garage or yard go there - it’s practical and hands-on rather than fancy. The place handles the usual recyclables and has space for bulky green waste, which is useful during hurricane season cleanup.
There’s a small entrance booth and a scale near the driveway - drivers typically stop on the scale when coming in and again on the way out since charges are based on weight. The recycling drop-off bins sit off to the right past the booth, with piles and separate areas for things like cardboard, metals, glass, and yard debris. The site looks industrial: concrete pads, roll-off containers, and piles of sorted material, so bring something sturdy to step on if unloading. Weekends and the weeks after storms get busy, and traffic can back up onto Fairbanks Street.
