Delaware Solid Waste Authority Administrative Office

Delaware Solid Waste Authority Administrative Office in Dover is the local solid waste facility that handles general household trash, recycling and yard waste for residents. Neighbors drop off everything from curbside overflow to bags from weekend projects, and the place has the feel of a working municipal site rather than a retail lot.

Drive up to a guarded entrance where there’s typically a booth and a scale nearby; many Delaware facilities use weight to sort loads. The lot is a mix of roll-offs, recycling bins and areas for green waste, so vehicles will be routed to different spots depending on what’s being unloaded. Lines can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so the flow slows down when several trucks are ahead. The overall setup is utilitarian - asphalt pads, concrete bunkers and clear signage pointing to recycling versus trash areas.
