Other notes

Fall 2026 county guide supplies these posted rates and keeps a 091225 production code. Treat them as currently published values, not proof of a new 2026 price change. Call for larger tires or unusual loads.
Accepts dry paper/cardboard, rinsed food/beverage glass bottles, aluminum/steel cans, capped uncracked vehicle batteries, rechargeable batteries, electronics and listed refrigerant-bearing appliances. Keep special items separate and use designated bins. No alkaline batteries, window/plate glass or wet/dirty paper.
Electronics include computers/monitors, TVs, stereos, DVD players, phones, VCRs, printers and scanners. Screened devices have a $15 fee. Do not assume an integrated-screen laptop is exempt without asking.
Ordinary #1/#2 plastic bottles/jugs and #5 containers/cups are listed at this facility. This differs from Jennings and Franklin centers, whose guides list #1/#2 only.
Do not leave any materials after hours. Listed recyclable streams are not permission to dump general household garbage, construction waste or hazardous materials into recycling bins.
Located next to the county highway garage just south of East Enterprise off Highway 56. Directory gives ZIP47043; county Fall 2026 brochure gives ZIP47019. Street/number agree. Confirm routing if your navigation app disagrees, rather than relying on the conflicting ZIP.
Separate clean/dry plastic film stream accepts grocery bags, shrink wrap, dry-cleaner bags and drink-carton wraps. Scrap metal must be free of fuel/tanks/batteries; no wire fencing.
Oil, filters and antifreeze have a five-gallon limit. No general HHW here: Jefferson County is the regular regional HHW outlet. A local 2027 HHW event is being planned, with no firm date published.
Same-site reuse shopping matches recycling hours, no upholstered donations, and usable goods are for local residents rather than resale. Satellite recycling is described behind the Moorefield and Patriot firehouses; those local bins have separate signs and are not assumed to accept all center special materials.
