St. Lucie County Baling and Recycling Facility

St. Lucie County Baling and Recycling Facility on Glades Cutoff Road is where residents and small contractors from Fort Pierce drop off recyclables and larger loads that don't fit curbside bins. The site feels like an industrial yard rather than a neat storefront-big roll-offs, baling equipment, and stacked bales are what stand out.

Pull in off Glades Cutoff and look for an entrance booth and lanes for cars and trucks. Recycling bins and the public drop-off area are usually near the front, while bulk materials and baling operations are toward the back. Expect heavy equipment noise and large piles of sorted materials; weekends and spring cleanup times commonly get backed up. Operations can be affected during hurricane season, so service may be limited around storms.
