Adams County Waste & Recycling

Small, county-run recycling center out on Trefz Road used mostly by folks from West Union and surrounding Adams County towns. It's the kind of place where people drop off household recyclables and the occasional bulky item during spring cleanups. Locals swing by with carloads or pickups to keep things out of the landfill.

Pull into a simple lot with a low entrance booth and a few large bins and containers visible from the drive. Many county centers handle the usual recyclables - paper, cardboard, glass, metals and common plastics - and often run special collection programs for things like electronics or tires at certain times. Vehicle flow means lining up to unload: pull in, sort items by type at the piles or bins, then head back out; seasonal weekends will get the longest lines. Bring something to help carry and secure loose loads, since most drop-off points are outdoors and exposed to the weather.
