Recycling in High Point: A Local Guide
High Point, in Guilford County in the Piedmont Triad, has two recycling facilities — both focused on fiber, plastics, and non-metal materials rather than scrap metal. Both operate weekdays only and serve commercial accounts primarily, though one also welcomes private citizens.
Triad Paper Recycling Inc at 2070 Brentwood Street has operated since 1990 out of a 40,000-square-foot plant. It purchases all grades of cardboard, mixed paper, newspaper, magazines, computer paper, phone books, plastics (#1 & #2), and aluminum — paying cash on the spot for qualifying loads. Private citizens are welcome alongside commercial accounts, waste haulers, and municipal recycling programs, but should call (336) 889-8880 ahead to confirm load requirements. The facility is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. It also offers NAID-certified confidential document shredding with a certificate of destruction, and a pick-up service that dispatches trucks and balers to client sites within roughly a 75-mile radius.
Recycling Management Resources – Central Carolina at 2325 Kivett Dr is a 52,000-square-foot commercial and industrial material recovery facility operated by The Wilmington Group. It processes all grades of fiber, plastic scrap, and metal scrap, and handles product destruction and confidential document shredding via a heavy-duty dual-shaft shredder. This is not a public drop-off — it serves commercial and industrial clients only and requires a call ahead to confirm accepted grades and pricing before delivery. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. High Point residents needing household recycling should use the City of High Point's Material Recovery Facility instead.
