—CASTLE  ROCK—
Community Recycling Center

Founded in December 2010, Community Recycling Center is a volunteer organization that provides free recycling to the residents of the Town of Castle Rock, Colorado and its surrounding communities.

ATTENTION: The Recycling Center will be closed April 5 due to inclement weather.
Please note: When we are closed due to weather, it’s challenging to accommodate everyone’s stored-up recycling the following Saturday. Please consider bringing a portion of what you have, as we really don’t like to turn people away, or visiting the site on an alternative weekend. Thank you.

Just recycling cardboard?
The Sedalia Transfer Station is open on Mondays and Saturdays, 9AM–3PM. There’s a small fee as they have to pay for transport.

Address: 3/8 mi NW on Douglas County Rd. 18, Sedalia, CO 80135
GPS: 39.4369336, -104.9597046

Hours:

Every Saturday from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

The center will close early if the collection bins fill up before noon. 

The center is open every week as scheduled unless posted in the banner above that it is closed. Please check the site regularly during inclement weather as the status may change with little notice if said weather forces an early closure. 

Address:  

701 Prairie Hawk Drive, Castle Rock, CO 80109

We are at the southwest corner of Wolfensberger Road and Prairie Hawk Drive and share the parking lot with the Douglas County School District's West Support Center.

How to Recycle with Us:

Please review the list of items we accept and do not accept below carefully. We are open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon. Please follow the signs and traffic cones, and stay in line. Five vehicles at a time may pull up into designated spaces to park and bring approved recyclables to the collection bins. There are regularly six collection bins open at a time--three sets of two bins each, with one bin for cardboard only and the other bin for all other approved recyclables (single stream). Volunteers will be present to assist you if needed and to ensure that the items going into the collecition bins are acceptable. 

If you are concerned about the lack of recycling options locally, call the Douglas County Commissioners office at 303-660-7401.
