Washington County Recycling Center in Springfield is the local spot for dropping off household recyclables and material from yard cleanups. Located at 887 Tingle Ln, it sees everything from a single bag to pickup-truck loads during busy times. Locals bring paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and scrap metal here.

The site is a simple, outdoor setup with large containers grouped by material so unloading goes in stages. Paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals are commonly accepted at county recycling centers, and some places run occasional electronics or tire drop-off events. Many facilities nearby have a scale or small entrance booth and assess fees by weight or per load, so costs and accepted items vary. Weekends, especially in spring cleanup season, tend to be the busiest; weekday mornings usually move faster.

Before You Go

  • Break down and stack cardboard before unloading to save space and speed up the drop-off.
  • Keep glass separated and bagged if possible, and put small loose items into a box or container so they don’t spill.
  • If hauling a truckload, strap things down so nothing blows out on the drive in; that keeps the site cleaner and saves time at the drop point.
