Great Valley Recycling Inc is a local recycling center on Sixth Street in Bridgeport used by homeowners and small haulers who want to keep recyclables out of the landfill. The place handles the typical household recycling drop-offs and some special programs are often run at centers like this for electronics or appliances.
The site is a working yard with a small entrance booth and a scale near the driveway; vehicles pull up, check in, then circle to the drop-off lanes. Recycling containers and larger compactors sit a short drive past the booth, with bins for paper and cardboard usually easy to spot. Expect a bit of noise and truck traffic - forklifts and roll-off trucks are common at active recycling centers. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to have the longest lines, so plan accordingly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials already sorted (cardboard flattened, paper separate from mixed containers) to speed the process; this saves time at the bins.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings or holiday cleanup weekends if possible - lines can back up onto Sixth Street.
- Secure loose items in the truck bed or use a tarp for bulky loads so nothing blows out while driving through the yard.
