Folks from nearby neighborhoods bring bags, boxes and metal to keep it out of the landfill. Like many recycling centers, this type of facility commonly handles paper and cardboard, aluminum and steel cans, glass and plastic bottles, and often has occasional programs for scrap metal or electronics.
Pull into a working yard rather than a retail lot; the entrance is off South Broadway and there’s usually a simple booth and lanes to steer through. Recycling bins and drop-off points tend to sit just past the entrance, often to the right, with larger items stacked in a different area. The surface can be gravel or packed dirt, and trucks or pickups come and go, so expect to pause while others unload. Weekends - especially during spring cleanups - get backed up, so allow extra time if visiting then.
