Recycle One

Recycle One is a recycling center in Hyattsville that locals use to keep bulky recyclables out of the landfill. Folks dropping off household recyclables and occasional larger items tend to show up here, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.

The site sits on Lawrence Street with a small entrance and an attendant booth near the drive-in lane; expect to pull up, talk to someone at the booth, and then be directed where to go. There are large open bays and roll-off containers for common materials like paper and cardboard, metals, glass, and many plastics, and many centers in the area also run special programs for electronics or appliances. Traffic gets heavy on weekend mornings and spring cleanup days, so lines and waiting to unload are normal. The yard is industrial - paved areas, concrete berms, signage for each container, and employees or attendants pointing vehicles to the correct drop-off point when it’s busy.
