PLEASE READ: NEW RULES IN EFFECT
ALL ecopark customers MUST WEAR A MASK or A FACE COVERING inside the ecopark.
PLEASE STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE IF YOU ARE DROPPING OFF HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE OR PHARMACEUTICALS. County staff will remove these items from vehicles. Household Hazardous Waste drop-off is by appointment only. See HHW Calendar below.
ALL OTHER AREAS OF THE ecopark ARE ENTIRELY SELF-SERVICE - Staff will not be able to assist unloading material from your vehicle. If you are unable to unload material, please bring someone with you who can.
Monroe County Sheriff's Deputies will be on site for traffic control, regulating building access to promote appropriate social distancing and acceptance of pharmaceuticals.

Due to high demand and ensuring appropriate social distancing, please expect longer than usual wait times.
We appreciate your patience!

Not Accepted at ecopark
Recycling is an international commodities market, where the supply and demand for recycled feedstock can fluctuate due to global dynamics. During certain market conditions, material from recyclers - like the ecopark - may be rejected and landfilled because of the presence of contaminants (non-recyclable materials). Please help us ensure that materials at the ecopark are recycled by only including acceptable items.
