Cherokee County Recycle Center in Canton is the local spot for dropping off recyclables and diverting materials from the landfill. Neighbors and small haulers use it for routine loads of paper, cardboard, metal, glass and common plastics, and there are sometimes programs for electronics or bulky-item drop-offs.
Pulling in leads past an entrance booth and a scale-plan to slow down and stop as other vehicles do. The recycling bins and roll-off containers sit a short drive past the booth; signage points to the different streams and where to unload. The yard is paved with room for trucks and trailers, so expect some backing and maneuvering for larger loads. Weekends, especially during seasonal cleanups, tend to be busier with lines forming at the entrance.

- Pre-sort materials and stack them neatly so unloading goes quickly; crews and site layout move faster when items are separated by type.
- Bring help or use a ramp for heavy items-lifting bulky bins or appliances is easier with two people.
- Cover loose debris on a trailer and secure it before driving in; loose loads slow the drop-off process and create extra cleanup.
