Locals and haulers from surrounding counties bring roll-offs and truckloads here; it’s built for big, heavy stuff rather than curbside pickups.

The site is large with dirt and gravel surfaces, open tipping cells and heavy equipment moving around, so expect a working-site look rather than anything tidy.

Commercial trucks are commonplace; smaller pickups will find room but should watch for uneven ground and turning radiuses.
