Waste Management - Rivergate Recycling Center

Waste Management - Rivergate Recycling Center is the local drop-off on Myatt Drive in Madison for people with extra recyclables or stuff that won’t fit curbside. Neighbors use it for cleanup runs and for larger batches of paper, cardboard, or scrap metal. It feels like a working yard rather than a storefront, so come prepared to handle your own unloading.

The site is mid-sized with paved drive lanes and big open containers where materials are left - think roll-off style receptacles and room for trucks. A small entrance booth and a pull-up area mark where cars queue and where loads get checked before unloading. Recycling centers of this type commonly accept paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metals, and some also run occasional electronics or paint take-back programs. Busy weekends and spring clean-up times often mean a line, so expect a short wait at peak times.
