Solid Waste Facility
Delaware Solid Waste Authority
1170 S Dupont Blvd, Milford, DE 19963
A county-scale solid waste site on S Dupont Blvd that locals use for household trash, recycling drop-off and yard debris. Neighbors bring pickup loads, small trailers and bags from weekend cleanups. It’s the sort of place people swing by when curbside pickup won’t do the job.
Drive up to an entrance booth and slow down for a brief check; there’s usually a scale area nearby so expect to stop twice. The property is open and spread out with piles, containers and a few drive-up bays rather than a tight garage. Recycling bins and yard-waste sections are separated from the main drop-off, often off to one side rather than in the center. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so there can be lines and some waiting to back up to a container.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads secured and sorted before you get to the gate so dropping off goes faster.
- Bring gloves and something to sweep out the truck bed-loose debris and leaves are common.
- If possible, aim for weekday mornings to avoid the longest lines on weekends and during spring cleanups.
