Brickyard Disposal & Recycling on East Brickyard Road in Danville is the local recycling center people use when curbside bins won’t cut it. Neighbors drop off extra cardboard, bottles and cans, and odd items from home projects. It’s the kind of place people swing by when clearing out the garage or after a move.
This is a working yard rather than a showroom - expect concrete pads, big metal bins, and trucks moving around. At centers like this there’s often a scale and an entry booth, so be ready to slow down at the gate and have materials roughly sorted before pulling up. Commonly accepted items at recycling centers include paper and cardboard, glass, aluminum, and many plastics; some places also run special collection events for electronics or tires. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, get busy and the ground can be dusty or gravelly, so give extra time for loading and unloading.
