The yard is open with concrete tipping areas and piles or containers for different loads; look for signs and follow other drivers. Vehicles pull up to a drop-off point and then back away to the exit lane-it moves faster when people know where to go. Weekends and spring cleanups get noticeably busier, so congestion in the lot is common then.

- Tie down or tarp loose material for safety, and bring tools to quickly empty and break down bulky items or boxes.
- Try to come midweek or early morning to avoid the weekend line; having a clear idea of where to put each load speeds the whole process.
