Recycling Center
Phelps Recycling Center
4351 D&R, Vista Ln, Phelps, WI 54554
Phelps Recycling Center is the town's recycling drop-off tucked on Vista Lane, used by residents and small haulers who want to keep stuff out of the landfill. It’s the kind of place people swing by with a trunkload of cans, cardboard and the odd bulky item during cleanup season.
Drive in to a compact site with piles and bins for common recyclables like paper, cardboard, glass, metal and plastics, plus occasional collection programs for things like electronics or tires. There’s usually a small booth and a weighing point at county-run facilities, so plan on a short stop to have materials checked and recorded. Trucks and trailers share the driveway with cars, so follow the flow and be ready to pull up where staff direct vehicles. Winter can change how things run, with modified procedures and slower traffic when snow is on the ground.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials already sorted by type-mixing everything means more time unloading and directing.
- Use a vehicle that can be backed into drop areas if possible; it makes tossing stuff out easier and quicker.
- Avoid weekend mid-mornings during spring cleanup if possible; that’s when queues and waits tend to be longest.
