East central Recycling

East Central Recycling on E Centennial Ave is the local drop‑off for household recyclables in Muncie - people with carloads or small trailers usually swing by. Recycling centers like this typically accept paper, cardboard, common plastics, glass and metals, and many run occasional programs for things like electronics or bulky items.

Pull into the lot and you'll see rows of large roll‑off containers and a paved drive for backing up; bigger items often get set aside near the back while bins for cans and paper tend to sit closer to the entrance. Many facilities have a small check‑in booth or a scale so be ready to stop briefly and follow directions; counties in Indiana sometimes charge by weight, by bag, or by vehicle type. Having materials separated before getting out of the car makes unloading faster and keeps traffic moving. Weekends and spring cleanup season can get backed up, so expect a line at peak times.
