Small-town transfer station in Orange where residents drop off household trash and recycling instead of driving to a distant landfill.

There’s an entrance booth where someone checks permits or residency - pull up slowly and be ready to show whatever the town requires. After that, follow the lane to the unloading area and toss items into the compactor or into the bin indicated; trucks here compact loads and haul them out. The site looks industrial: concrete pads, big metal bins, and heavy equipment moving about, so keep a safe distance when getting out of the vehicle. Weekends and spring cleanups are noticeably busier, so lines can form at the gate.
