Wimauma Recycle Center is the local recycling drop-off in Wimauma, Florida, sitting off West Lake Drive. Neighbors bring household recyclables and yard debris here to keep stuff out of the landfill, especially after big yard projects or storms.
The site is fairly open with a small entrance booth and a few large roll-off bins and covered bays for different materials. Pull up to the booth first for directions; vehicles then back into spots near the appropriate containers. There’s a noticeable scale area at many county centers like this, so expect to slow down while staff check the load. Weekends and the weeks after hurricanes or seasonal cleanups get busy, with trailers and pickup trucks lined up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into piles-cardboard, mixed recyclables, and yard waste-so it’s quicker to unload when at the bins.
- Bring tie-downs or a tarp for loose loads; wind can blow branches and loose paper around in the parking area.
- Avoid peak times if possible: early weekday mornings are usually quieter than weekend afternoons or post-storm days.
