Davis Recycling Center

Davis Recycling Center in Ocklawaha is a local recycling drop-off that people in the area use to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors bring everything from household recyclables to yard debris, especially after storms or seasonal cleanups. The site feels like a working yard - piles, bins and open areas for sorting materials.

Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and lanes for cars and trucks; pull up so other vehicles can get by. Recycling bins and collection piles are set off to one side with larger open areas for bulky items. Like many Florida centers, common items accepted at similar sites include paper and cardboard, glass, metals, certain plastics, and sometimes electronics or yard waste - and there are often special programs for hurricane debris. The place is practical rather than pretty: gravel or paved surfaces, rows of containers, and signs marking where to drop different stuff.
