A small recycling center in Crystal Springs that folks from the surrounding area drop by to keep stuff out of the landfill. Locals swing through with bags of cans, cardboard and mixed recyclables more than big commercial trucks. The place feels like a practical, no-frills stop for neighborhood cleanups and curbside overflow.
Pull in off US-51 and you'll see a single entrance lane with a little booth near the driveway; vehicles line up sometimes on weekends. The recycling bins are usually off to the right just past the booth, with larger containers and a covered area for sorting. Expect to unload by category - paper and cardboard, glass, plastic and metal containers are the common items. A scale is often positioned on site, so be ready to stop again on the way out.

- Avoid peak weekend hours if possible; weekday mornings tend to move faster and have shorter lines.
