Recycling Center in Fort Payne, Alabama
About This Location
The Fort Payne City Recycle Center at 406 Logan St SE is a municipal drop-off site run by the City of Fort Payne's sanitation department. Residents bring their own recyclables, pre-sorted by type, and place them in the correct bins. The center accepts paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, metal/tin cans and plastic, and used motor oil can be dropped off there as well. An on-site attendant is present during weekday hours, and the lot is monitored by cameras outside those times. Because materials must be sorted and rinsed before drop-off, it helps to separate your paper, glass bottles and plastic bottles before you arrive.
