Yahl Mulching & Recycling, Inc.

Small, down-to-earth recycling center in Naples that locals use when they need to drop off extra cardboard, yard clippings or scrap metal. Neighbors, landscapers and people clearing out garages swing by here rather than hauling stuff to a landfill. It feels like a working place, not a showroom.

Pull into a modest entrance with a little booth and traffic flow for trucks and cars; there’s usually a scale near the entrance so vehicles are weighed in and out. Recycling containers and piles for different materials are spread out across the site, and yard waste areas are separate from the bins. The place is busy on weekends and during hurricane cleanup seasons, so expect lines and a bit of dust and diesel smell from equipment. Bring stuff already sorted as much as possible; it makes unloading faster.
