Morgan County Recycling & Transfer Facility

Morgan County Recycling & Transfer Facility is the small recycling center just off IL-104 that people from around Jacksonville use for dropping off household recyclables and assorted clean materials. Neighbors swing by with everything from cardboard and cans to bulk items that don’t belong in curbside bins. Expect a practical, no-frills place mainly used by residents and small local haulers.

A low, open yard with piles and large containers rather than a fancy building; the entrance has a small booth and a drive-up area where vehicles stop to be directed. Recycling bins and roll-off containers sit a short walk from the drop-off lanes, and signage tells you where to leave cardboard, metal, and commingled recyclables. Trucks and pickups are common, and weekends-especially during spring cleanups-can stack up with a line waiting to get in. It’s a working site, so bring items sorted as much as possible and be prepared to climb a bit or lift over container edges.
