Airport Recycle Center on US‑1 in Camden is the small county-style recycling drop-off most locals use when clearing out garages or wrapping up a cleanup weekend. Neighbors and households bring common recyclables and sometimes larger items during special collection events; the place feels like the practical, no-frills spot it is.
Expect a fenced lot with large outdoor collection containers rather than a fancy indoor setup. Vehicles pull up into lanes beside the containers and people sort materials into the big bins for paper, cardboard, glass and many plastics, while there may also be spots for metals or electronics during special programs. There’s usually an entrance/collection booth or gate area where drivers check in, and signage that points to each container but bring labels or bags so items stay separated. Weekends and spring cleanup days get noticeably busier, so plan extra time if dropping off a full load.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials already sorted into boxes or bags to speed things along; loose mixed loads take longer to unload.
- Drive a truck or trailer with a tailgate that opens easily-lifting and tossing large boxes into the bins is part of the routine.
- If hauling bulky items, expect a line during peak times (weekends, community cleanup), so aim for a weekday morning when possible.
