Fulton County Solid Waste District

Fulton County Solid Waste District in Rochester is the county drop-off spot most locals use for household trash, recycling, and yard debris. Neighbors swing by with pickups, trailers, or trunks full of cleanup junk when curbside pickup won’t do.

Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and lanes where vehicles pull forward to unload; there are usually large roll-off containers and covered bays for different types of material. The lot is more functional than pretty-gravel or packed dirt, with signs and concrete pads where people toss things. Lines form on weekends and during spring leaf season, so plan for a short wait if it’s busy. Staff will direct traffic at the drop points and there’s a clear flow from entry to exit, so follow the cars ahead.
