Waste Facility

Alachua County Collection Center

19401 SW Archer Rd, Archer, FL 32618

(352) 495-3257

A county collection center that locals use for dropping off household and yard items. People from Archer and nearby areas come here when cleaning out garages, trimming trees, or after storms. It’s the kind of place meant for residents, not commercial haulers.

There’s usually an entrance lane with a small booth where vehicles pause before heading into the main yard. Large open bays and piles are visible from the drive, with separate sections for bulky items and piles of green waste at many Florida sites. Traffic can slow down on weekends and right after storms when everyone is hauling debris. Vehicles typically pull up to the appropriate pile or bay and then wheel or hand items out to the drop-off area.

Before You Go

  • Bring proof of residency in the county-local centers commonly check IDs before accepting material.
  • Secure loads and tarps so debris doesn’t spill on the road; it makes unloading quicker and keeps other drivers from stopping.
  • Expect extra wait time on weekends and after hurricanes or major storms; plan for a midday weekday run if possible.
