Blue Lincoln Recycling

Blue Lincoln Recycling is a neighborhood recycling center on McCormick Drive that folks from Lincoln and nearby rural areas use to keep loads out of the landfill. Mostly visited by households and small-scale haulers, it handles typical curbside-type recyclables and some larger items that don't belong in the regular trash. The spot feels like a practical, no-frills place where people drop off paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and scrap metal, and sometimes there are special collection events for electronics or appliances.

The site sits back off McCormick Drive with an entrance booth and a couple of staff cars often parked nearby; pull up to the booth first and they'll point where to go. A scale is usually along the drive so trucks and trailers stop there before heading to the sorting area. Recycling bins and tipping areas are to the right past the booth, with piles or covered bays for different materials rather than small curbside carts. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so expect a line if arriving mid-morning or early afternoon.
