Jackson Recycling Center

Small, down-to-earth recycling center in Jackson that locals use when curbside pickup won't take something or after a big cleanout. Neighbors drop off boxes, bottles, scrap metal and old electronics here, much like other Missouri recycling centers. The place mainly handles the usual recyclables - paper and cardboard, plastics, glass, metals - and sometimes electronics or appliance programs pop up seasonally.

Drive up Eastview Court and pull into a modest lot with a small entrance booth and several large roll-off bins and containers visible from the road. Expect to stop at the booth/scale area first; vehicles often have to back up into a drop-off lane and then pull forward after unloading. The site looks industrial - concrete pads, fencing, and a line of bins - not landscaped or fancy, so bring gloves and plan for dust or gravel underfoot. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, with cars and small trailers queued for the same few containers.
