Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop for directions; there’s usually a lane to pull up for check-in. A drive-over scale is commonly used at these facilities, so expect to pass over it on the way in or out and to wait a few minutes if there’s a lineup. Large open bays, roll-off containers, or compacting areas are visible from the entrance, with piles or bins laid out for different types of material. Weekends and spring cleanup times get noticeably busier, so lines and waiting vehicles are normal then.
