A simple recycling center serving the Paoli area, mostly used by residents dropping off household recyclables and small loads. It sits on S Co Rd 275 W and looks like the kind of place locals swing by for spring cleanups or when the blue bin overflows.
There’s an entrance drive with a small booth near the road and a cluster of recycling bays and containers set back from the driveway. Vehicles pull up to the booth area and then move on to the appropriate drop-off island or dumpster; signs and painted lanes help point the way. The site is more industrial than tidy - expect gravel surfaces, concrete pads and truck traffic. Typical materials handled at centers like this include paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metal, and many sites run occasional special programs for electronics or bulk items.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Flatten boxes and separate paper from mixed recyclables before unloading to speed the drop-off.
- Bring gloves and wear closed-toe shoes - the ground can be uneven and there’s loose debris around the bays.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; those are commonly the busiest times during cleanup season so allow extra time.
