Douglas County Recycling and Disposal Facility Landfill

Douglas County Recycling and Disposal Facility Landfill on North 216th Street in Bennington is the local spot for dropping off household recyclables and material from small projects. Neighbors, weekend DIYers and folks doing cleanouts use it to keep things out of the curbside trash.

A small entrance booth and a wide drive-in area mark the approach; pull up to the booth first and follow the traffic flow into the yard. There are large containers and roll-off bins clustered in the lot, with recycling bins grouped together so people can sort paper, cardboard, glass, metals and plastics. Many centers like this also handle yard waste and often run occasional programs for electronics or bulky-item drop-offs, so those options may be available. Weekend mornings and spring-cleanup periods get noticeably busier, so lines and slow unloading are common then.
