Neighbors bring the usual-paper and cardboard, glass bottles, plastics and cans-and centers like this sometimes run special programs for electronics or bulky items. Expect a practical, no-frills spot used mostly by residents during cleanup seasons.
Drive in from Lovell Rd toward an entrance booth and a vehicle scale; many recycling centers use a scale so plan for a brief stop to weigh or check in. Past the booth, pull up to a row of bins and roll-off containers-materials are generally grouped by type and are easy to spot from the main drive. The yard has an industrial, open feel with concrete pads and big containers, and lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup. Having items sorted and boxes flattened before getting there makes unloading much quicker.
