Chatham Township Recycling Depot

Chatham Township Recycling Depot is the local recycling center for Chatham Township residents looking to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors bring household recyclables and occasional bulk items, and the place gets steady use, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup.

Drive up to a small entrance booth where staff check vehicles and direct traffic; there’s a scale for larger or heavier loads so the truck stop-back is common. The site is outdoors with rows of large bins and roll-offs; typical materials like paper, cardboard, glass, metal and many plastics are dropped off in separate containers, and there are usually separate spots for things like electronics or bulky items in special collection areas. Vehicles pull forward to each container, unload by hand or with minimal help, and then head back to the exit where the scale may be used again for weight-based dropoffs. Lines build up on weekend mornings, so expect some waiting during busy periods and a working-yard feel rather than a neat retail look.
