A county-run solid waste drop-off serving English and nearby rural areas. Locals bring household trash, recyclables and yard debris here, with pickups varying by what’s being dropped off. Expect a working, no-frills facility used mostly by residents hauling loads from the county.
Drive up to an entrance where there is usually a staffed booth and a route that directs vehicles through the site; many county sites have a scale or pay station to stop at before leaving. Dumping areas and recycling containers are typically grouped separately, so look for piles or bins off to the side of the main drive. The surface is mostly gravel or packed dirt and trucks and trailers are common; weekends and spring cleanup days can get busy and slow-moving. Signage will point to drop zones, but most people follow the flow of traffic and the attendants’ directions.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and straps for loose material-windy days will send leaves and light trash everywhere.
- Have items sorted in the vehicle: recyclables one side, bulk/yard waste another; it speeds things up and reduces backing and shuffling.
- Expect to pull forward to a pay booth or scale on the way out at similar county centers, so leave room in the vehicle for a quick stop.
