Nevada Recycling Center

A small-town recycling center in Nevada that locals use when cleaning out garages or dropping off curbside overflow. Folks from nearby neighborhoods and small businesses swing by to keep bulky recyclables out of the trash. It’s the kind of place that sees a steady stream on weekends during seasonal cleanups.

The place feels more practical than polished - a handful of large containers and a paved pull-in area at 310 N Colorado St. Expect to sort cardboard, paper, cans and bottles into separate bins like at other community recycling centers; many centers in Missouri also take plastic containers, tin and sometimes electronics or hold special collection events for hazardous items. Vehicles usually drive up to the collection area, unload by hand, and then leave; be prepared to separate materials beforehand so moving through the line is faster. On busy days there can be a short wait, and larger loads take noticeably longer to get through than a single bag or box.
