Resource Recovery Center Recycling in Preston is the small-town recycling center most locals use for getting rid of household recyclables and larger items that don’t fit in curbside bins. Neighbors drop off everything from cardboard and paper to common metals and plastics here, especially during seasonal cleanups. Expect a practical, no-frills place run to handle loads rather than a retail-style operation.

The site feels like a working yard with a few large bins and collection areas rather than a polished visitor center; in Minnesota winters there’s often an indoor or sheltered drop-off option at similar facilities, so plan for cold-weather access. Vehicles usually pull in, sort at the bays or bins, then leave when finished; bring items separated as much as possible to speed things along. The layout tends to have a small entrance area or booth for check-in and then the recycling containers a short drive past it. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get busy, so don’t expect a quick in-and-out at peak times.

Before You Go

  • Sort and flatten cardboard and bundle paper before arriving - it saves time and space at the drop-off bays.
  • Bring tarps or covers in winter to keep items from getting buried in snow and to make unloading easier in icy conditions.
  • Plan for a bit of waiting on busy weekends or during spring cleanup; a second person to handle loose items speeds unloading and keeps things moving.
