Prentiss Recycle Services at 885 MS-42 is the small-town recycling center folks from Prentiss and the surrounding area use for household and light commercial recyclables. People drop off things like paper, cardboard, bottles and cans and other common recyclable items here.
Pull off MS-42 into a working yard with large containers and piles of flattened cardboard and other recyclables; it looks more like a yard than a retail lot. There’s usually a clear drive-up path to the drop-off containers, and facilities like this often have a small entrance booth or scale so plan to stop briefly. Materials are commonly separated by type, so having bottles, cans, paper and cardboard grouped will speed things up. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up, so expect some waiting then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring cardboard flattened and tied or boxed - it saves time and space when unloading.
- Wear gloves and closed-toe shoes; the ground is often gravel or packed dirt and the yard can be dusty.
- Aim for a weekday or late morning visit if possible to avoid the busiest weekend rush.
