Ellsworth Recycling Center

Ellsworth Recycling Center is the town’s recycling drop-off on Industrial Road, used by residents hauling household recyclables and small community haulers. People come here to keep paper, glass, plastics and metal out of the landfill, and to take advantage of any seasonal or special collections the center runs.

The site feels like a working yard rather than a neat retail place - a small entrance booth and a few large roll-off bins or compactors are typical. Pull up to the booth first if one is staffed, then follow signs or attendants toward the recycling bins, which are usually off to one side of the main driveway. There’s often a scale or weighing point somewhere on the drive for larger loads, so expect to stop twice if bringing a big truck or trailer. In winter the lanes can be slippery and a bit narrower from snow piles, and weekends or spring clean-up times tend to see longer lines.
