Town of Islip Recycling Centers

Town of Islip Recycling Centers in Hauppauge handles residential recycling for local households and anyone with town access. Neighbors drop off curbside-style recyclables and larger items that don't fit at the curb, so it’s used by people doing garage cleanouts as well as regular weekly recycling runs.

Approach a modest municipal facility rather than a fancy private operation; think a paved yard with several large bins and roll-off containers. There’s usually a small entrance booth or gate area where vehicles pause, and lanes to pull up beside specific containers-paper and cardboard often have their own bays, with glass and cans grouped nearby. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup days tend to be the busiest, so lines can form and maneuvering with a trailer takes a bit more patience. Many town centers accept the usual recyclables like paper, cardboard, glass, metal and common plastics, and some also run special collection programs for electronics or bulky metal items.
