Anderson Recycling Center

A small county-style recycling center off Woodcrest Drive in Anderson, used mostly by residents hauling bags or small truckloads from around town. Locals swing by with cardboard, bottles, cans and the usual recyclables; some county centers also handle electronics or yard debris at specific times. It's the sort of place people bring a pickup or SUV rather than big commercial trailers.

Pull up to a single entrance where there’s usually a drive-up booth or attendant station and then a short drive further into the lot. A scale is often on-site for larger loads, and the recycling bins and roll-offs sit out to the right past the entrance area. The site looks like a working yard with concrete pads, metal containers, and clear signs over the different bins; expect to hop out and sort items before dropping them. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be busiest, so lines can form at the gate.
