A small regional recycling center in Coplay used by residents and small haulers looking to keep recyclables out of local landfills. People drop off sorted loads of cardboard, paper, cans, bottles and other common recyclables here, and sometimes electronics or metal are accepted at centers like this.
Drive up the access road and look for a small entrance booth or office near the driveway; many centers in the area have a booth where staff check vehicles. There are usually separate open-top containers and roll-off bins for glass, paper, cardboard and mixed containers, with larger piles or bays for scrap metal and bulk items. Expect to pull up, hand over materials, then move to a spot to unload - traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup. Larger trucks and trailers will need extra space to back into a bay, so watch what other vehicles are doing and leave room.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pre-sort materials into clearly marked bags or boxes so unloading goes fast and items go into the right bin.
- Bring straps or a tarp for loose loads; wind can scatter lightweight paper and plastic while driving through the site.
- Try to visit on a weekday or early morning to avoid weekend lines; if towing a trailer, allow extra time and room to maneuver.
