Recycling in Cleveland: A Local Guide
Cleveland, Tennessee — the seat of Bradley County in the southeastern corner of the state — is served by two free public recycling drop-off facilities operated by the Bradley County Recycling Program. Both sites are funded and maintained by the county, accepting everyday recyclables at no charge with no residency requirement stated.
The Peerless Rd Recycle Center at 3110 Peerless Rd NW sits alongside the Bradley County Farmers Market and Cannery, making it easy to combine a trip. Open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., it accepts clear, brown, and green glass; newspapers; mixed paper; corrugated cardboard; aluminum drink cans; steel food cans; and plastics #1 and #2. Note that this facility is no longer accepting electronics of any kind — computers, TVs, and phones must go elsewhere.
The Urbane Road Facility at 290 Urbane Rd NE complements Peerless Road by operating on the opposite days: Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It accepts the same core materials plus cellphones, and features two roll-off containers dedicated to cardboard — added through a county grant for higher-volume drops. Electronics other than cellphones are not listed as accepted here either. The county recycling department can be reached at (423) 728-7141.

Can I recycle cardboard at both Cleveland locations?
Yes. Both sites accept corrugated cardboard. The Urbane Road Facility has two dedicated roll-off containers for cardboard, added via a county grant, providing extra capacity for large loads.
