A practical recycling center tucked into the landfill complex on West 37th that locals swing by to keep recyclables out of the pit. People hauling household and yard cleanups, small contractors, and anyone with a trunk or trailer uses it for dropping off common recyclables and some special programs.
Drive up the long gravel drive and there’s usually a small entrance booth and a scale you cross on the way in and again leaving; weight-based charges are typical at sites like this. The recycling bins and roll-offs sit to one side of the main traffic flow, with covered areas for electronics or other special collections. Expect a mix of paved and rough surfaces, clear signage for different material types, and room to pull a trailer up to the containers for unloading. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busiest, so there can be lines to get to the bins.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials by type before getting there - paper/cardboard, plastics, glass, metal, and yard waste should be separated to save time at the drop-off.
- Bring help or something to cover loose loads; larger items and heavy bags are easier to manage with a second pair of hands and a tarp for wind-prone trips.
- Use a vehicle with good clearance if towing a trailer; some areas are gravel and can be bumpy, and maneuvering space is limited when the place is busy.
