Piedmont Residential Waste and Recycling Center

A small county-style recycling center just off Owens Road that locals use to drop off household recyclables and bulk items. Neighbors from Piedmont swing by with bags of paper, boxes, bottles and other common recyclables; the place has that practical, no-frills feel.

The site is compact - a single entrance with an attendant booth and rows of large roll-off bins and containers straight ahead. Common materials handled at centers like this include paper and cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals; many centers also take electronics, yard debris, and have seasonal or special program drop-offs. Pull up to the booth first and be ready to state what’s being dropped off, then follow the signs to the appropriate container areas. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so there’s often a short line of cars waiting to pull in.
