Recycling Centre

Used to be referred to as the rubbish tip or dump, and people still do use these terms, but for an information notice such as this, recycling centre is more appropriate.

disagree Michael Korovkin : No,RC is where garbage containers are taken FROM piazzola ecologica, and where one takes oversize pieces to dump.Before door-to-door collection we too took our garbage to a piazzola ecologica from where it went to our local RC.+contenti loro...:)))

I too had this doubt about what 'piazzola ecologica' is referring to. However, given this place has opening hours I'm confident it is referring to a recycling centre and not simply a collection of large bins where people throw their daily rubbish.

recycling point (before the eupheminesque PC speek, " garbage-collection point/station")

Not "center"
Center is where they do ... whatever they do to garbage AFTER they take it from the collection point.
"Piazzola" is simply a place with containers for garbage, that's it.

It's what before PC they called "posto raccolta immondizia". It was the times when "garbage man" wasn't yet "l'operatore ecologico":)))
