Recycling in Dunnellon: A Local Guide
Dunnellon, Florida is served by two Marion County Solid Waste drop-off facilities that together cover the eastern and western sides of the community, both accepting the same broad material list at no extra charge for county-assessed residents.
The Dunnellon Recycling Center at 4232 US-41 is the more centrally located of the two, situated along the main highway corridor. Open Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday 7 AM–5 PM; Friday 7 AM–7 PM; and Sunday 9 AM–5 PM (closed Tuesday and Thursday), it accepts household garbage (up to 180 gallons/day), single-stream recyclables, yard waste (branches under 4 inches and 4 feet long, up to 2 cubic yards), scrap metal, appliances, a wide range of electronics, furniture including mattresses and couches, up to 5 passenger-car tires per day, household paint, motor oil, automotive and golf-cart batteries, and CFLs. Contact this site directly at (352) 671-8465.
The Florida Highlands Recycling Center at 8390 SW 150th St serves the Florida Highlands subdivision and rural areas west of town. It operates on identical hours and accepts the same materials as the US-41 facility — a convenient option for residents who would otherwise face a longer drive to the main site. Both centers fall under Marion County Solid Waste management.
Access to both facilities is free for Marion County residents who pay the annual $215 solid waste assessment. Those outside the county's assessment area must purchase a permit: $215 for assessed municipality residents, $268.75 for out-of-county users. Construction debris, concrete, car parts, commercial waste, asbestos, and medical waste are not accepted at either center. For statewide recycling resources, see the Florida recycling directory. Nearby communities with their own recycling options include Ocala, Inverness, Crystal River, and Gainesville.
