A straightforward recycling center that focuses on keeping wood and other recyclables out of the landfill, used by homeowners, landscapers, and small contractors around Livonia. People swing by with trailers full of brush, old lumber, and mixed recyclables. The place feels like a working yard more than a tidy drop-off park.
Pull up to an entrance booth/scale area where vehicles are directed before unloading; expect to stop once coming in and possibly again on the way out. Large piles of wood and mixed recyclable bins are visible from the driveway, with room for trucks and trailers to maneuver. The ground can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, and the lot has the sound of forklifts or loaders moving material. Weekends tend to be busier, especially during spring cleanup, so lanes and parking may be congested.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and use straps or tarps on trailers-loose debris can blow out when driving and slows unloading.
- Sort materials as much as possible before getting there; having wood separated from metal, cardboard, or mixed recycling makes the process quicker.
- Bring gloves and sturdy shoes; there are nails, splinters, and uneven surfaces around the piles, and being prepared keeps the stop faster and safer.
