North Collier Recycling is the recycling center off Goodlette-Frank Road that locals drop by to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors bring household recyclables and yard debris, especially after storms, and it’s the kind of place residents use for regular cleanups.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and pull in; there’s usually a line on weekends or right after big yard-work days. A scale sits near the entrance so many people stop twice-once coming in and again leaving. The recycling bins and drop-off areas are grouped nearby, and there’s typically a separate section for bulky yard waste or hurricane debris. The site looks like a working yard: concrete bays, roll-off containers, and traffic lanes with signs pointing to recycling vs. yard piles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials sorted as much as possible (paper/cardboard separate from cans and glass) to move through quicker.
- Avoid weekend mid-mornings if possible; weekday mornings are usually much less crowded.
- Back into lanes for easy unloading of yard waste or bulky items-it saves time and keeps traffic flowing.
