BCSWA Recycling Center Hedgesville

A local recycling drop-off a short drive off Hedgesville Road, used by folks from the surrounding valleys looking to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Neighbors haul everything from cardboard and paper to bottles, cans and scrap metal to facilities like this one; seasonal cleanups bring bigger loads and longer lines.

The site feels like a working yard: gravel drive, a small office or booth near the entrance, and rows of roll-off containers and baled materials a little way in. Pull up slowly - cars and small trucks usually line up and people are sorting loads at the bins. The place is practical rather than polished, with tire tracks, industrial containers and the occasional commercial truck moving material around. Expect a bit of noise and dust; weather can make the drive and the yard muddier in winter or after heavy rain.
