A neighborhood recycling center on the west side of Davenport that people bring household and yard recyclables to. Locals and small-scale farm operators drop off cardboard, paper, glass, plastics and common metal items here. It’s the kind of place visited when clearing out the garage or after a big yard cleanup.
The site looks like a cluster of large bins and containers arranged in an open lot, with smaller bins for bottles and paper nearer the entrance. Pull up slowly and pick the correct bin for each material; trucks and trailers are a common sight, so watch for backing vehicles. Seasonal changes are common in Iowa, so the flow of traffic and available programs can shift with spring cleanup and harvest time. Expect to sort recyclables as you go-this is primarily a drop-off spot focused on keeping things out of the landfill.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials pre-sorted by type so unloading goes quickly and others aren’t held up.
- Use a smaller vehicle or trailer if possible; busy weekends and seasonal peaks can make maneuvering tight.
- Flatten cardboard and bundle small items to save space and avoid leaving loose debris around the bins.
