Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →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.
