Town of Newton / Centerville Recycling Center

Small-town recycling center serving residents of Newton and Centerville in Manitowoc. People drop off everyday recyclables and larger items that don’t fit at curbside, especially during spring cleanup and yardwork seasons. The site is what it says on the sign - a straightforward place to keep things out of the landfill.

Drive up to a single entrance where there’s usually an attendant booth and a scale nearby; many county-run centers charge by weight, so plan for a quick stop on the way out. Recycling bins and containers for paper, cardboard, glass, metal and common plastics are clustered together, while piles or bays for yard waste and bulky items sit a little farther back. The footprint is more utilitarian than tidy - gravel or paved drives, transfer bunkers or roll-offs, and clear sightlines so trucks can maneuver. Winter months often change how things are staged, with some areas shoveled or re-routed and staff moving loads around to keep things accessible.
