Norwood Mini Dump is the small city dump out by NW 199th Street that locals use for household cleanouts and yard clippings. People from nearby neighborhoods swing by with pickup loads, trailers, or truck beds when curbside pickup isn't enough.
A narrow entrance with a small attendant booth greets drivers; traffic can bottleneck there on busy days. There is usually a scale or weigh station to pass through and a series of open piles and roll-off containers beyond the booth. Yard waste areas are often separated from general piles, and recycling bins tend to sit off to the side. The whole place looks industrial - dirt, compacted gravel, and piles of debris - so bring a vehicle that can handle a rough surface.

- Weekends and spring cleanup or post-storm days get crowded; plan for lines and pack patience.
- Bring gloves and closed-toe shoes - surfaces are uneven and there’s a lot of sharp stuff underfoot.
