(440) 786-1300A local recycling center used by residents from Bedford and nearby Oakwood for dropping off household recyclables. It’s the kind of place people use when they’re clearing out the garage or bringing a trunk full of bottles and boxes to keep them out of the landfill.
The site is a medium‑sized operation with an entrance booth and several large outdoor containers and compactors. Expect to pull up to the booth first and then be directed to drive slowly past the scale area; many centers weigh loads and vehicles often stop again on the way out. Recycling bays and open-top containers are clustered together-paper and cardboard are usually in one area, glass and bottles in another, with bulky items set off to the side. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, get busy and lanes can back up, so plan for a short wait.
