A small neighborhood recycling center in Greenpoint - used by local residents and small-scale drop-offs. It's the kind of place people swing by with bags and boxes rather than a full truckload.
Drive up to an open lot with rows of large bins and trailers; the place looks more like a working yard than a polished storefront. There will be a booth near the entrance and clear signage on the larger containers for paper, metal, glass and mixed recyclables. Expect to unload at the edge of the bin or hand items up to someone at the container area, and then drive back out the same way you came in.

Before You Go
- Bring items sorted as much as possible - loose paper separate from bottles and cans saves time unloading at the bin.
- Use bags for small, loose recyclables so nothing falls out during transfer and the drop goes faster.
- Avoid busy times like weekend mornings if able; these centers get noticeably busier during spring cleanup periods.
