Uriah's Heap Recycling Center is a recycling center in Springfield.
History
Principal Skinner and students of Springfield Elementary School came to Uriah's Heap Recycling Center to sell newspapers that needed to be recycled. The hippie who was working there only gave them 75 cents for the newspapers. Angered, Skinner was forced to cancel a trip to Albany, toss the pay check away, back into a surviving tree and drives off.
Behind the Laughter
The name of the recycling center is a reference to the Burns-esque character Uriah Heep in Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield (one of the books which is thrown out by Homer during recycling).
