Republic Services North Florida Recycling Center

A working recycling center on Imeson Road that locals bring household and yard-type recyclables to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors, landscapers and people doing cleanups drop off cardboard, metals, plastics and organic yard debris here. The site is busy at times and looks like a commercial sorting yard rather than a tidy public drop-off.

The entrance sits off 7000 Imeson Road with a small booth and scale area where trucks and cars queue before pulling into the main yard. Large concrete bays and open-top containers line the lot; mixed recycling containers are typically grouped together while yard waste piles are kept to one side. Expect dust, the rumble of compactors and large equipment; slow-moving traffic and weekend lines are common, especially during hurricane cleanup season. Drivers usually pull up to a bay, unload onto the concrete pad and then drive back out past the scale.
