Maxwell Avenue Recycling Facility

A neighborhood recycling center on Maxwell Avenue that locals drop by with bags and small loads of household recyclables. People from Larchmont and nearby spots bring cardboard, cans, bottles and other recyclables here rather than hauling them to a landfill. It’s the kind of place visited for straightforward drop-offs and the occasional special collection day.

Drive in off Maxwell and look for an entrance booth and a lane for cars and small trucks; the site feels industrial but compact. Recycling bins and containers sit to the right past the entrance area, with larger piles and containers further in for bulk items. Commonly accepted materials at centers like this include paper and cardboard, glass, metal cans and many plastics, and there are often separate programs or drop-offs for electronics and bulky items. Expect to unload at different stations rather than one single bin, and have materials sorted as you go so the swap from vehicle to container is quicker.
