Lower County Recycling Co., at 965 Hickstown Rd in Sicklerville, is the local recycling center people use when curbside pickup won't cut it. Neighbors and small businesses drop off extra cardboard, bottles, cans and the odd bulky items here. It feels like the kind of working place where things get sorted and moved on quickly.
Expect a working yard with rows of bins and bays for common recyclables like paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metals; many recycling centers in the area also run occasional programs for electronics or tires. There's typically an entrance area where vehicles pause to be directed and a place to unload into the right container, so have materials separated before stopping. Loads with loose trash or unbundled cardboard take noticeably longer, and a short line can form during busier times of the week.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Flatten and bundle cardboard ahead of time - it saves unloading time and fits better in the containers.
- Secure loose items in trucks and cover open loads to avoid spills and extra cleanup.
- If possible, avoid peak weekend windows during spring cleanup season; early weekday visits usually move faster.
