V & M Recycling is a small-town recycling center in Barren Springs that locals use to keep bulky recyclables out of the landfill. Folks from around the county swing by with cardboard, cans, bottles and scrap metal for drop-off. The location at 1657 Wysor Hwy is easy to find off the main road.
Pull into a modest yard with a customer booth or drop-off point near the entrance and areas for different materials a short drive further in. There’s usually a place to pull up, unload, and move on - expect to sort items like paper and cardboard, plastics, glass, and metals into separate containers. Larger items such as appliances or scrap metal often have a separate spot or program, so look for signage or posted instructions on-site. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so plan a bit of extra time if dropping off then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials already separated by type - it makes the visit quicker and keeps lines moving.
- Have the facility address (1657 Wysor Hwy) handy for GPS; the entrance is off the highway and the yard is visible from the road.
- Bring help or equipment for heavy items: ramps, a dolly, or another person will make unloading appliances or large scrap metal much easier.
