Recycle Center on Magnolia School Rd is the local recycling center in Washington that people use to drop off household recyclables and clean-out items. Neighbors, landscapers, and anyone doing a garage purge will pull up here to unload sorting into the big bins or bays. The site handles common curbside-type materials and usually has separate provisions for things that require special handling.
The place looks like a typical small-town recycling yard: a drive-up entrance with a small booth and a row of large outdoor containers visible from the road. Pull up close to the appropriate bin or bay and unload-paper, cardboard, metal, glass and many plastics are commonly separated into different containers. On busy weekends there can be a line of cars waiting to get in, so plan for some wait time during spring cleanups. North Carolina rules mean electronics and hazardous items are handled differently, so expect those to be set aside or handled through special programs rather than tossed in the regular bins.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into clearly labeled piles (paper, cardboard, metal, plastics) so unloading goes quickly.
- Bring sturdy boxes or bags and secure loose items in the truck bed-loose trash can be messy and slows things down.
- Avoid peak weekend mornings if possible; late weekday afternoons or later in the day usually have shorter lines.
