Wildwood Recycling is the town recycling center on Hudson Ave that locals use when clearing out garages, handling small contractor loads, or dropping off household recyclables. Neighbors, seasonal visitors and people doing beach- or yard-cleanups all end up here at some point. It’s a practical, working lot rather than a tidy storefront.
Pull up to a small entrance booth where someone checks vehicles and directs traffic; then follow the lane into the open yard. Large roll-off containers and labeled bins sit out in the yard, with common materials like cardboard, metal, glass and mixed recyclables separated into piles. Expect to maneuver around trucks and trailers-this place can feel busy, especially on weekends and spring cleanup days. The site looks industrial: gravel or paved drives, piles of sorted material, and open tipping areas rather than enclosed bays.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into boxes or bundles so unloading goes faster and keeps traffic moving.
- Bring a tarp and straps for loose loads; tarps make unloading cleaner and prevent things from blowing around.
- Avoid late-morning weekends if possible-early or weekday visits tend to be less crowded and easier to squeeze in.
