Disposal & Recycling Center and Community Chest

The Disposal and Recycling Center (DRC) accepts a wide variety of recyclables, scrap metal, compostable food waste, some hazardous materials like car batteries, and waste to be landfilled.  The DRC is located next to the small boat harbor in Gustavus. The Community Chest accepts gently used clothes, household goods, books, hardware, and small electronic devices to be resold through their volunteer-staffed store, with all proceeds benefiting the DRC.  The Community Chest is located near the Gustavus airport, across the street from the Post Office.
