Calhoun Recycling Center

Calhoun Recycling Center is the local drop-off spot in Calhoun for keeping everyday recyclables out of the landfill. Neighbors bring household cardboard, paper, bottles and cans here, and some seasonal or special programs may show up like electronics or appliance collection. It’s the kind of place used by folks doing garage cleanouts, yard projects, or just routine recycling runs.

The site looks like a modest city facility on Pine Street with a small entrance booth and rows of large roll-off bins and single-stream containers. Pull up to the booth first and volunteers or attendants usually direct where to unload; cars and trucks follow a short drive-through pattern to drop materials in separate containers. Expect to sort cardboard, paper, plastics and metals into different bins and to carry items to the right pile rather than leaving loose in the pickup bed. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so a short wait in line is common.
