JRM Hauling + Recycling is a local recycling center in Peabody used by homeowners and small contractors dropping off materials for diversion from the landfill. The site handles common recyclables and has programs for sorting different types of material, so people bring everything from cardboard to mixed metal for processing.
Drive in on Newbury Street and look for the scale and an attendant booth near the entrance where trucks and cars pull up to check in. The yard is a working industrial lot with piles, bins and roll-off containers; loads are usually separated by material type before being tipped into the appropriate container. Expect to follow a simple flow: check in at the booth, pull up to the appropriate bin area, unload, then return to the scale area to finish. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be the busiest, so there can be lines of vehicles waiting to pull in.

Before You Go
- Sort and flatten cardboard, bundle paper, and separate metals ahead of time to speed unloads and avoid extra sorting at the site.
- Bring appropriate gloves and closed-toe shoes-the yard surface is rough and unloading can be hands-on.
- Plan for possible wait times on weekends or during seasonal cleanups; arrive early in the day to avoid the worst lines.
