S & T Recycling LLC in Lexington is a small recycling center where locals drop off common recyclables and keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors, contractors, and people doing yard or home cleanouts use this place when they need to recycle cardboard, paper, glass, metals and some plastics. It feels like a working, no-frills site rather than a retail spot.
The approach has an entrance booth and a couple of lanes to pull into; expect to stop briefly at the booth and possibly a scale as you come in. Recycling bins and compactors sit off to the right past the entrance, with larger piles or roll-offs visible farther back on the site. Trucks and trailers are common, so watch for backing vehicles and follow any cones or arrows on the ground. The site looks industrial - gravel or paved lots, signs on the containers, and a clear flow from drop-off to exit.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Separate materials before arriving: keep cardboard flat, papers dry, and metals grouped to speed things along.
- Weekends and spring cleanup see the longest lines - plan to arrive early or later in the afternoon to avoid the busiest times.
- Bring gloves and something to cover loads in transit; trailers and loose piles are common and wind can scatter light items.
