Recycling Center
Parks Transfers & Recycle Center
11763 Shirley Ayr Rd, Mt Union, PA 17066
(814) 542-4751Small-town recycling center serving Mount Union and nearby neighborhoods. Neighbors drop off household recyclables and occasional bulky items here, not a landfill but a place to keep things out of it.
A modest site with a drive-in entrance and what looks like a check-in booth near the lane. After pulling in, there are rows of receptacles and piles for different materials-paper and cardboard, glass, plastics and metals are the usual sorts handled at places like this. The yard is mostly gravel and concrete, with trucks coming and going; weekends and spring cleanups can get busy and noisy. Staff will direct traffic from the booth, and vehicles usually pull up to specific bins or a tipping area to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and flatten boxes before arriving so unloading goes quicker and you don’t have to sort at the bins.
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose or bulky items - windy days scatter things and it’s easier to control loads.
- Avoid peak times like weekends or early evenings if possible; a weekday midday run usually moves faster.
