Long Beach Recycling Center is the local recycling drop-off spot in Long Beach, WA for residents wanting to keep things out of the landfill. Neighbors bring household recyclables and yard debris here; the place sees a steady stream of cars and small trailers, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.
The site is a modest-sized outdoor facility with a small entrance booth and a few large concrete pads and roll-off bins. Pull up to the booth first, then follow signs to the appropriate area - the recycling bins are usually grouped together while yard waste and bulky items are handled on separate pads. Expect to stop on a scale if bringing a trailer or larger load, and plan for a short wait during busy times. Bring things already sorted as much as possible so unloading goes quicker.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Separate recyclables from yard waste before arriving so the right truck or bin can be used without extra sorting.
- Bring gloves and a bungee or tarp if hauling a loose load in a pickup or trailer; wind and shifting items are common on the outdoor pads.
- Try to come midweek or early morning on weekends to avoid the longest lines - spring and fall cleanup days are the busiest.
