Centre County Recycling & Refuse Authority

A local recycling center in Bellefonte that homeowners and small haulers use to drop off recyclables and keep stuff out of the landfill. It handles everyday curbside-type materials and often has a few seasonal or special collection events for things that don't belong in regular bins.

Drive up the access road and you'll see a little attendant booth and a scale-vehicles usually stop at the booth first and then cross the scale to be weighed. The recycling bins and roll-offs are grouped together, often off to one side of the main drive; paper, cardboard, bottles, cans and metals are the kinds of things accepted at places like this, and there are sometimes separate areas for electronics or bulky items during special drops. The site feels industrial-concrete pads, big metal containers, and traffic from transfer trucks-so plan for a short walk from where a car or truck is parked to where materials go. Weekends and spring clean-up times tend to be busiest, so expect a line if arriving then.
