Outagamie County Recycling & Solid Waste Drop

Outagamie County Recycling & Solid Waste Drop in Appleton is the county recycling center most local residents use for household recycling and small cleanups. People bring everything from weekly recyclables to old electronics and appliances here. It's a practical spot for diverting materials that don't fit in curbside carts.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there's typically a scale where vehicles are weighed and fees are assessed by weight. The site looks like an open yard with large roll-off containers and covered bays for different material types, and the recycling bins are usually off to one side past the main drive. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for some wait time then. In winter months expect shorter daylight operations and possible changes to how items are unloaded or where to park.
