Locals use it when hauling loads that are too big for curbside pickup or when taking weekend cleanup debris to one central spot. It sits on Malone Rd just off the main part of town, so it’s handy for most of Early County.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and a gate; larger trucks and trailers pull through to the unloading pad. There’s a scale and concrete bay areas where trash gets compacted and loaded for transport, so expect to follow staff directions for where to dump. Recycling and drop-off points are usually grouped to one side, and the site looks like a working yard - compactors, piles and roll-off containers. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so lines can form at the entrance.
