Recycling in Brandywine: A Local Guide
Brandywine, in southern Prince George's County, MD, has three distinct recycling resources — a county-run residential convenience center, a construction and demolition materials recycler, and a you-pull-it salvage yard — each serving a different need.
The most accessible option for Prince George's County households is the Missouri Avenue Solid Waste Acceptance and Recycling Center at 12701 Missouri Ave, operated by the county Department of Environment. It accepts household trash, single-stream recyclables, cardboard, large rigid plastics (#1, 2, 3, 5, 7), motor oil, and antifreeze — free for county residents with proof of residency. Hours alternate by day to serve early-morning and evening schedules: Mon/Wed/Fri 6:30 AM–3:00 PM, Tue/Thu 10:00 AM–6:30 PM, Saturday 7:30 AM–4:00 PM, closed Sunday. Tires, paint, car parts, and bulk trash are not accepted here; for household hazardous waste, check Prince George's County's HHW events at the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill.
For contractors, excavators, and landscapers, Brandywine Reclamation & Recycling at 15851 McKendree Rd accepts clean fill dirt, sand, gravel, concrete, and asphalt for recycling and same-day dumping. Open Mon–Fri 7:00 AM–4:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–1:00 PM. This is a specialty commercial recycler — not a household drop-off — so call (240) 339-4227 before arriving with unusual loads.
Vehicle owners with a car to get rid of can turn to D & W Auto Parts at 12727 Brandywine Rd, a you-pull-it salvage yard and junk-car buyer. The yard pays cash for cars, trucks, and trailers in any condition and lets customers pull their own used parts Mon–Sat 8:00 AM–4:00 PM.
