(931) 987-3000United Waste Haulers Recycling on Mt Joy Road is the local recycling center in Mount Pleasant where neighbors bring cardboard, paper, metal, glass and common plastics instead of tossing them. Folks from homes and small businesses stop by with trunks and pickups. Expect a working yard with bins, piles and trucks rather than a polished front office.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and a scale nearby, so plan to stop for a moment while the load is checked. Pull up to the signposted containers or staging piles and unload into the correct spot - cardboard, cans, scrap metal and mixed recyclables are typically separated. The ground is often gravel and there will be equipment and trucks moving, so watch where feet and hands go when unloading. Lines can build on weekends and during spring-cleanup season, so busy times are common.
