Brockton Recycle Depot

Brockton Recycle Depot is the local recycling center on Oak Hill Way that residents bring their sorted recyclables to. Neighbors, landscapers and people cleaning out garages use this spot to keep stuff out of the landfill. Expect the usual mix of cardboard, paper, glass, metal and plastics handled here, and occasional special drop-off programs for things like electronics or paint at certain times.

Drive in slowly and there’s a small entrance booth with a gate or attendant area; pull up there first and they’ll give directions. A truck-scale sits near the entrance and many people stop twice-once in and once out-if bringing a larger load. Recycling containers and open-top bays sit to the right a short way past the booth, with signs and piles for different materials; dumpsters and roll-offs are visible from the drive lanes. Weekends, especially during spring cleanups, can back up the line so be prepared to wait and to shuffle trailers or bags into the proper drop-off spot.
