(662) 324-0930A small recycling center on the edge of Starkville that locals use to keep stuff out of the county landfill. Neighbors bring everything from cardboard and paper to metal and some plastics, and occasional bulk items get dropped off here during cleanup runs.
Pull up to a simple entrance with a scale and a small booth - there’s usually a stop to report what’s being dropped off. The recycling bins and containers sit just past the booth, often to the right, with larger drop-off areas for bulk or flat items. The place looks industrial: gravel or packed dirt yards, a few roll-off containers, and a handful of piles being sorted. Weekends and spring cleanup times are busiest, so plan for a short wait if it’s a Saturday.
