Neighbors bring everything from cardboard boxes after a move to bags of bottles and cans. It’s the sort of place people swing by when cleaning out a garage or clearing recycling from the kitchen.
The site looks like a working yard with an entrance booth and a scale near the driveway; vehicles typically pause to get weighed before moving on to the drop-off containers. Large roll-off bins and concrete bays hold the different materials, and centers like this commonly accept paper, cardboard, glass, many plastics, and metals. Some locations may offer electronics or appliance drop-off events, shredding days, or seasonal bulky-item programs, so those are worth checking locally. Weekends - especially spring cleanup season - often have backups, so expect a line at busy times.
