(570) 255-2574A local recycling center that people from Monroe and nearby Harveys Lake use to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Mostly used by residents dropping off household recyclables and the occasional contractor with a small load. The site leans toward diverting common materials and runs a few special collection programs at times.
Drive up PA-309 toward the property and look for a small entrance booth and a scale area - there’s usually a place to pull up for check-in before heading into the drop-off lanes. Recycling containers and bays sit to the right of the main driveway, with larger piles and processing areas visible beyond them. Loads are typically separated by material type, so people unload paper, cardboard, metals and many plastics into different containers or conveyor areas. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be busier, so expect lines during those times and plan accordingly.
