Recycling Center
Reuter Recycling Center
20701 Pembroke Rd, Pembroke Pines, FL 33029
Small but busy, this recycling center in Pembroke Pines is the kind of place neighbors drop off their recyclables and yard trimmings. People from around the area use it for routine pickups and seasonal cleanups, especially after storms. It's a working site that handles a steady flow of cars and trucks.
Drive in and look for a manned entrance area and a scale - traffic is routed through so vehicles can unload at the proper bays. There are open concrete pads or roll-off containers for mixed recyclables and often a separate section for yard waste, which gets busy during hurricane season and spring cleanup. Expect trucks and forklifts moving about; bring secure, covered loads for loose debris and be ready to sort common items before you get to the bin.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have cardboard flattened and bundled and loose items separated (paper, plastic, metal) to speed up unloading.
- Bring straps or a tarp for pickup loads so nothing blows out while driving; wind can be an issue on the way in and out.
- Try to arrive midweek or early morning on weekdays to avoid the weekend backup that happens during neighborhood cleanups or after storms.
