Bartlett Solid Waste Recycling

Bartlett Solid Waste Recycling sits off Shelter Run Lane and is the spot locals use when they have a load of recyclables to drop off. Neighbors bringing household cardboard, mixed paper, metals and common recyclables tend to stop by, as do small-scale cleaners of basements or garages. It feels like a practical, no-frills place meant to keep stuff out of the landfill.

Drive up to a small entrance booth area and be prepared to pull forward to one of the drop-off bays or bins. There’s usually a row of large collection containers and a few open-top bays for bulk items, with piles and compactors spread across a fairly open yard. Expect to sort or separate common items as you move through the site; signs and simple instructions are often posted near the bins. Weekends and spring-cleaning times tend to be busier, so a short wait in line is possible.
