Central Disposal Facility in Lake Mills is the local disposal site people from town and nearby farms use for getting rid of household and agricultural refuse. The place sees a mix of pickups, trailers, and small trucks, especially during planting and harvest seasons. Expect a rural, working-yard feel rather than a polished commercial transfer station.
There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale at places like this, so plan to slow down at the gate and be ready to pull up for weighing. Vehicles usually queue in a short line off the road when it’s busy; weekends and spring cleanup draw the biggest crowds. The yard is mostly open dirt or gravel with piles for different material types and a few large roll-off containers. Follow the signs and attendants’ directions for where to drop items and exit back past the scale.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads-wind can blow lighter stuff around on gravel days.
- Have materials sorted as much as possible before getting to the gate; it speeds things up and keeps lines moving.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings in spring and late afternoon during harvest to skip the longest waits.
