Small-town disposal site on the west side of Charleston that locals use for getting rid of household trash and small loads. Not a fancy place-more like a working lot where pickup trucks and trailers are common. People from surrounding areas bring their regular junk here rather than hauling it into bigger cities.
Drive up to a single entrance where there’s usually a booth and a scale; sites like this commonly charge by weight so it’s normal to stop twice. The lot is mostly gravel and pavement with piles or compactors off to one side and room to turn a trailer around. Signs point out drop-off spots for general trash and sometimes recycling; expect drivers to back up to a pit or loading area. Lines form faster on weekends and during spring cleanup time, so there can be a wait.

Before You Go
- Bring straps or a tarp so everything is contained - loose stuff tends to blow around and slows unloading.
- Have a way to measure or estimate load size when someone asks; it makes the process go quicker than debating what’s in the truck.
- Plan for a gap between in and out: there’s usually a weigh-in and then a weigh-out, and traffic through the lot can be slow when it’s busy.
