Oconto County Recycling is the county-run recycling center in Oconto, serving local households and small drop-offs. Neighbors bring household recyclables and anything from spring cleanups to just a few bags of cans and cardboard.
The site is on Evergreen Road and looks like a modest county facility rather than a commercial depot. Pull up to an entrance booth where attendants will direct vehicles; after that there are collection bins and concrete pads for sorting materials. Common curbside-style recyclables - paper, cardboard, glass, metal and many plastics - are handled here, and the center also runs occasional special collection programs at certain times of year. Winter can change how things operate, so the layout may have temporary lanes or limited access when snow piles up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials already sorted by type and packed so unloading is quicker; that keeps the line moving on busy days.
- Plan around weekends and spring cleanup season, when lines and wait times are noticeably longer.
- Have a tarp or straps handy for loose cardboard and lightweight items so wind doesn’t make a mess when unloading outside.
