Get Directions

Small-town recycling center in Motley that sees regular local use - people dropping off household recyclables and occasional bulky items. Neighbors, seasonal visitors and township haulers all bring loads here; it's the sort of place used for clearing out garage and yard cleanup items.

A modest site with an entrance booth and clusters of bins or small buildings for different materials; the recycling bins are usually off to the right past the check-in point. Expect to pull up, empty or sort materials into the appropriate containers, then drive back out - cold-weather months often mean some indoor drop-off options or shortened hours. Many Minnesota centers accept the common household recyclables like paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum and many plastics, and some run special collection programs for things like electronics or batteries.

Before You Go

  • Bring items already sorted as much as possible - that keeps the line moving and avoids extra handling at the chute or bin.
  • Load trucks or trailers so glass and paper are separated; it makes unloading quicker and less messy, especially on windy days.
  • Plan trips for weekday mornings if possible since weekends and spring cleanup times tend to stack up and cause waits.
