Rankin County Recycling
H08 000016 00000, Brandon, MS 39042
Rankin County Recycling in Brandon, MS (H08 000016 00000) is the local recycling center neighbors bring their cardboard, cans, paper and common plastics to. Folks from around the county drop off household recyclables here, especially during spring cleanups. The place is useful and workmanlike rather than fancy.
Pull up to a small entrance where there’s typically an intake booth and lanes to drive into; the rows of recycling bins are usually off to the right past that spot. Many centers like this have a scale, so vehicles sometimes stop again on the way out if materials are weighed. The yard is often a mix of concrete pads, open space and large containers or baled piles of sorted material. Expect lines on weekends and during neighborhood cleanup events.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and flatten cardboard at home so unloading goes quickly; loose boxes slow everyone down.
- Bring gloves, a tarp and straps for loose loads - it makes handling glass and bulky items easier and cleaner.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; parking and drop-off lanes get backed up.
