Small, no-frills neighborhood recycling center in the Bronx that locals use to keep bulky recyclables out of residential trash. Drivers, building supers and folks with curbside overflow all stop by here on a regular basis.
A compact lot with an entrance booth and a place to pull up - expect to wait your turn when it’s busy. There are separate collection areas and open-top bins for common items like cardboard, paper, metal, glass and many plastics, and the site runs programs for things like electronics and scrap metal on occasion. Vehicles typically drive onto the lot, sort materials at the bays, then head back out; bring things already separated so unloading goes quicker. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get crowded, and the yard has the usual trucks, forklifts and stacked pallets in plain view.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items bundled or boxed and have cardboard flattened - it saves time and space at the bays.
- Wear gloves and bring straps for loose or heavy items; the ground can be uneven and some lifts are manual.
- Avoid peak weekend hours if possible; weekday mornings tend to move faster and lines are shorter.
