Chester County Recycling Center

Chester County Recycling Center is the local spot in Chester for dropping off recyclables instead of sending them to the landfill. Neighbors, small households and folks doing spring cleanups use it for sorting out cardboard, bottles, cans and other recyclables. It sits on Beltline Rd and looks like a working yard rather than a storefront.

Pull in and you'll see a small entrance booth and a drive-up area where cars and trucks line up. Recycling bins and roll-off containers are grouped together-paper and cardboard are usually separated from glass and cans, and there are often areas for bulky items or electronics at similar centers. A scale or check-in point is common at places like this, so expect to stop briefly before and after dropping materials. Weekends and early evenings tend to be busier, and the yard has the typical concrete pads, fences and directional signs to guide vehicles.
