Richland Recycling Center is the small county recycling spot on Richland Road that locals use when clearing out the garage or dropping off a trunk load. Neighbors, landscapers and anyone with recyclables from around Seneca swing by here rather than hauling things to the landfill. It’s the sort of place where people pull in, sort out their stuff, and leave with less clutter.

Drive in past a manned entrance booth and then pull into one of several drop-off lanes; the layout makes it easy to back up to a bin or chute. A scale is commonly placed near the entrance at centers like this, so expect to pause on the way in or out. Recycling containers and corrals for paper, cardboard, glass, metal and common plastics are usually grouped to the right after the booth, with larger items directed to separate areas. Weekends get busy, especially during seasonal cleanups, and the site has a working-yard feel - concrete pads, fenced skips, and trucks moving materials around.

Before You Go

  • Separate and flatten cardboard at home so unloading is quick - keeping materials sorted speeds things up for everyone.
  • Bring help or straps for heavy items; it’s easy to underestimate how awkward bulky loads can be when trying to lift them into a bin.
  • Plan for a wait on weekends or mornings after a holiday push; arriving earlier in the day usually means a shorter line and easier parking.
