Town of York Recycling and Compost Facility

Town of York Recycling and Compost Facility, at 65 Witchtrot Rd in York, is where residents bring household recyclables and town compostable material. Locals and small haulers use it for drop-offs of sorted recyclables and yard waste. The name says compost - expect a separate area for organic yard debris alongside the recycling operations.

Pull into a gravel lot with a small entrance booth and a working yard; there’s usually a scale in the drive that you’ll pass. After the booth, traffic is funneled toward piles and collection bins-paper, cardboard, glass, metal and many plastics are typically grouped together, while compost bays are off to one side. It’s a hands-on, industrial-feeling site with trucks, loaders and piles of material, not a tidy retail space. Weekends, especially during spring cleanups, get backed up, so expect some wait time at peak hours.
