DWR RECYCLING is the small, local recycling center off Swamp Road that people from Doylestown bring household and contractor recycling to. Neighbors, landscapers and anyone with a load of cardboard, metal or old electronics tend to stop here to keep stuff out of the landfill.
The entrance has a drop-off lane with a small booth and a scale nearby, so expect to slow down and possibly wait for weighing. Recycling bins and collection bays sit just past the booth, with cardboard and mixed containers in clearly marked piles. Trucks and trailers are common, so watch for backing vehicles and take care when pulling up next to a bay. Most centers like this handle paper, cardboard, glass, metal, common plastics and often have a separate area for electronics or special programs, though specifics can vary.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials sorted as much as possible: flatten boxes, separate metal from paper to speed unloading.
- Avoid weekend afternoons when pickup and spring cleanup make lines longer; weekday mornings tend to move quicker.
- Secure loose items in the truck or trailer and have tailgates ready-unloading can be quicker when everything is easy to reach.
