Gilchrist County Solid Waste & Recycling

Small-town recycling center in Bell used by neighbors, landscapers, and folks clearing out garages. It handles the usual residential recyclables and yard-type material that piles up here in Florida, especially after storms. Expect a place where people drop off cardboard, cans, bottles, and green waste rather than a full-service transfer station.

Pull in off NW 10th and slow down for an entrance booth and some signs - there’s usually a place to stop before you move into the drop-off lanes. A scale is common at these county sites, so come ready to pause again on the way out; staff will likely direct where to put each material. The recycling containers and piles are typically grouped (paper/cardboard, plastics, glass, metals) and a separate area for yard waste is often visible. Weekends get busy, and after hurricane season there can be extra piles and longer lines.
