Wayne Recycling & Solid Waste is the local recycling center on Valley Road that people from town bring bags, boxes, and larger items to keep out of the landfill. Neighbors dropping off household recyclables and occasional bulk items use it, especially when doing a cleanup or moving stuff out of the garage.
There’s a small entrance booth where vehicles show up first, and recycling bins sit off to the right just past that area. A scale is crossed either coming in or going out, so be prepared to stop twice if it’s busy. The lot is industrial-looking with piles and containers, and weekends-especially in spring-tend to have a line of cars. Signs and attendants will direct where to dump different materials, and people usually drive around with trailers or SUV loads.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into paper/cardboard, glass/metal, and mixed recyclables so unloading is faster.
- Aim for weekday mornings if possible; weekend afternoons get the longest backups during spring cleanup season.
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose or bulky loads and have passengers ready to help unload quickly.
