American Recycling & Disposal is a recycling center on Madison Street that locals drop by to keep stuff out of the landfill. People bring household recyclables and small loads from yards and garages rather than big commercial hauls.
The site is industrial-think concrete bays, roll-off containers and a small entrance booth where vehicles queue. Pull up to the booth, then follow the flow toward the scale and the sorting areas; the recycling bins are usually visible off to the side. Expect trucks and trailers navigating tight turns, so take it slow and watch for backing vehicles. Weekends and spring cleanup times get noticeably busier, with lines that can form into the street.

Before You Go
- Pre-sort your cardboard and paper so it’s flat and bundled - it makes dropping off much quicker and keeps the pile tidy.
- Use a smaller vehicle if possible; tight turns and narrow lanes make backing a trailer a pain during crowded periods.
- Bring items grouped by material (metal, glass, mixed paper) and have them accessible - saves time when staff direct where to dump.
