Canton Yard Waste Recycling Facility

Canton Yard Waste Recycling Facility on Pine Street is where locals drop off garden trimmings and yard debris. Neighbors, landscapers, and anyone tackling a yard clean-up use the place for leaves, branches and other yard waste. Facilities like this often have compost or mulch programs and are aimed at keeping bulky yard material out of the landfill.

Pull into the small lot at 87 Pine St and look for a low entrance booth and a drive-over scale; stopping at the booth and the scale is a normal part of the visit. The recycling bins and open piles of brush or wood chips are usually past the booth, with room to back a trailer up near the drop-off points. The ground is typically gravel or packed dirt rather than paved, and signs or arrows point to different drop spots. Weekends, especially during spring clean-up, can get backed up so there may be a line of trucks and trailers.
