Small county-style disposal site serving Sanford residents and nearby neighborhoods. Located on N White Cedar Road, it’s the kind of place people use for household cleanouts and yard-haul during storm season. Expect a practical, working-site feel rather than anything fancy.
A gated entrance with a booth and a vehicle scale is common at facilities like this, so plan for a short stop up front; they typically charge by weight and will weigh vehicles in and out. After the booth there’s usually room to pull up to drop-off points and large open tipping areas with piles of material and roll-off containers. The layout is spread out and dusty when dry, muddy after rain, and there’s often a separate section for yard debris-especially common in Florida after storms. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so lines can form to get to the scale.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps to secure loose loads; wind can blow branches or bags during the drive through the site.
- Have items sorted in the truck or trailer beforehand so unloading goes quicker once at the drop-off area.
- Leave extra travel time on Saturdays or after heavy weather-traffic to the scale is the usual bottleneck.
