A small-town recycling center that people from the Foster area use to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Located on Foster Rd, it's the kind of place local households and small pickups drop by during cleanup days, especially those in nearby hollows and valleys.
The site looks like a modest yard with a low entrance booth and several large containers or balers set back from the drive; drivers usually pull up to the booth first and then swing around to the collection bins. Commonly accepted items at centers like this include paper and cardboard, glass, metals and many plastics, and there may be periodic special programs for electronics or tires. Mountain weather can affect access, so the road and lot may be rough or muddy after storms and weekends-plan extra time when spring cleanups or bad weather roll through.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials beforehand into paper, glass, metal and plastics so unloading goes faster and fewer trips around the site are needed.
- Bring straps or a tarp for loose items if hauling with a truck or trailer; wind and hills can turn an unsecured load into a mess.
- Allow extra time on weekends or after storms-parking and the drive-up area can get crowded and slippery, especially for longer vehicles.
