FV Recycling, LLC is a small recycling center on Highway 42 that locals from the Sumrall area use to keep recyclables out of the county landfills. People bringing bags, boxes, or small truckloads stop by between runs to the landfill or the county convenience centers. It feels like a working, no-frills place rather than a polished drop-off site.
Pull off MS-42 into a gravel driveway that leads to an entrance booth and a scale; many centers like this charge by weight, so plan for a short stop at the booth. The site has stacked bins and roll-offs; lighter stuff like cardboard and paper is usually separated from metals and mixed containers. Trucks and pickups share the same drive lanes, and larger vehicles might need a bit of room to swing around the piles. On busy weekends expect a line and some waiting while attendants sort or direct traffic.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into piles (cardboard, paper, metal, mixed containers) so unloading goes faster and saves time in line.
- Cover loose loads with a tarp or secure them in bags to keep items from blowing out when pulling up to the drop-off area.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings and spring cleanup weekends if possible; a midweek trip will usually move quicker.
