Deep Gap Recycling Center

Small, no-frills recycling center serving Deep Gap and surrounding mountain communities. Neighbors drop off household recyclables and small loads from cleanups, and local contractors swing by with scrap material now and then.

Pull in past the road sign and slow for an entrance booth and a weigh scale-places like this in the mountains often use weight-based charges. The site looks like a handful of large roll-off containers and covered bays, with sorted bins for paper, cardboard, bottles and cans, plus a spot for scrap metal. Expect gravel drives, tight turning spaces for trailers, and a practical, working-yard feel rather than landscaped grounds. North Carolina has separate rules for electronics and hazardous items, so those are handled through special programs rather than tossed in the regular bins.
