Muscatine County Recycling Center and Transfer Station

Muscatine County Recycling Center and Transfer Station is the local spot in Muscatine for dropping off household recyclables and items headed away from the landfill. Farmers and residents both use it, especially during seasonal cleanups when extra material shows up from yards and farms.

Drive in off S Houser St and look for a small entrance booth and a scale area common at transfer stations; vehicles often pause twice if weight is tracked. The property typically has large roll-off containers and separate collection bins for paper, cardboard, metals and other recyclables, plus space for bulk drop-offs. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring, so there’s often a line of trucks and trailers waiting to pull up to the bays. Loads are usually expected to be at least roughly sorted by material before unloading to keep things moving.
