City of Waverly Recycling Center

City of Waverly Recycling Center is the town recycling drop-off out on 5th Ave NW, used by households and local farmers during seasonal cleanups. Neighbors swing by with cardboard, bottles, cans, and other common recyclables, and the place gets noticeably busier in spring and fall. The site handles typical residential recycling needs and often runs seasonal programs tied to farm and yard cleanups in this part of Iowa.

The site feels like a practical, working facility rather than a showroom - expect rows of large containers and drive-up bays for different materials. Many people pull up, sort their load into bins, and then leave; on weekends or during spring cleanup it can back up. There’s usually a small office or booth near the entrance area where you interact before or after dropping items, and facilities in this area sometimes handle seasonal farm- or yard-related material. Bring items already sorted as much as possible to move through faster.
