Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Little Falls Recycling is a small recycling center near Sparta that people from the surrounding area use to keep bulky recyclable items out of the landfill. Most folks dropping off come from town or nearby farms with mixed loads of typical recyclables. Expect a no-frills, local setup rather than a polished commercial operation.
Drive up to a single entrance where a small booth and a scale are visible - vehicles usually pull in, stop at the booth, then proceed to the drop-off area and back over the scale on the way out. Recycling bins and collection bays sit off to the right past the entrance, with piles and containers for different materials; sorting beforehand makes the visit quicker. The site feels like a county-run place: dusty in summer, muddy in spring, and with altered traffic flow or procedures in winter months. Weekend mornings can be the busiest time, so there may be a short wait to get to the drop-off point.
