Recycled Earth on Midland Drive is the local recycling center many Ogden residents use to keep things out of the landfill. People bring household recyclables and odd items that don't fit in curbside bins, from cardboard and mixed paper to scrap metal and electronics that centers commonly accept.
Pull in off Midland Drive toward a small entrance area where traffic can queue; many recycling centers have a scale and a small booth, so expect to stop and be directed. There are piles and roll-off bins for different materials and the site looks like a working yard - concrete pads, gravel, and rows of containers rather than a tidy retail lot. Vehicles unload at the appropriate container or pile, with heavier loads often needing a spot to pull forward; in Utah’s dry weather watch for dust and loose paper blowing around on windy days.

Before You Go
- Flatten and bundle cardboard beforehand to save time and space in the bins.
- Secure loose items in the truck or trailer; the dry, windy climate here makes lightweight stuff want to fly.
- Sort materials roughly by type before pulling up so unloading goes faster and lines move sooner.
