Our Community Drive-thru Drop-Off Facility is OPEN 24/7

Inside Operation: Only Employees and Authorized Volunteers will be permitted inside the Recycling Center. For a safety precaution, due to having various types of machinery and equipment operating as well as trucks and fork lifts moving in and around our shop. This practice will allow for us to have a safe and successful operation moving forward.

We ask if a Customer needs assistance, then please call 784-1250 or knock on our door.

Attention Residential Curbside Customers please continue to sort your recyclables, into 3 groups, this lessens the amount of times our employees must handle the items and ensures a safer working environment. The 3 groups are as follows: 1.) Cardboard & Paper ( junk mail, newspaper magazines & please bag shredded paper), 2.) Metals (aluminum, tin cans, e-scrap & aluminum foil /pans) and 3.) Plastics ( we are only able to accept #1 & #2 plastics all other numbered plastics will need to be discarded with household trash).

For shredding needs and more information, call 784-1250, visit our webpage at moreheadrecycling.org or see us on our Facebook page.
