Lansing Recycling Center

Lansing Recycling Center is the local recycling center on S Cedar Street that people from the neighborhood and surrounding areas use to drop off recyclables. Neighbors swing by with bags and small loads of bottles, cans, cardboard and mixed paper, and sometimes larger items for recycling programs. It's the kind of place visited during cleanouts or when sorting out regular household recyclables.

Drive into the lot and pass a small booth near the entrance where vehicles normally pause before pulling through the site. The main recycling bins and collection areas are visible from the driveway and usually organized by material type like cardboard, paper, metals and common container recyclables. Expect to back into or pull up near specific containers for unloading; residential loads tend to move faster than truck or trailer loads. Weekend mornings can be busier, especially during seasonal cleanups, so there may be a short line of cars waiting to get to the drop-off points.
