Charles R Biggs Recycling Center

Charles R Biggs Recycling Center in Berkeley Springs is the neighborhood recycling spot for folks in this valley. Used by residents hauling bags and truckloads of recyclables, it sits on Valley Road and is the kind of place people bring sorted materials rather than throwing everything into the trash. Mountain weather can make the approach slow some days, so plan accordingly.

The site looks like a working yard more than a storefront: a drive-in entrance, an attendant booth, and rows of large collection containers. Common items accepted at places like this include paper and cardboard, bottles and jars, certain plastics, metals, and sometimes electronics or bulky items through special drop-off programs, though exact lists vary. Pull up to the booth first to let the attendant know what’s in the load, then follow signs or directions to the appropriate bin or pile. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up and the ground can be rough or muddy after rain.
