Gardner Disposal Service is the local disposal site off W Warren that people from Gardner and nearby rural roads use for household cleanouts and yard waste. A small, working facility rather than a fancy drop-off, it handles the town’s everyday trash needs and seasonal surges.
The driveway leads past a little entrance booth and a drive-on scale area, with rows of roll-off containers and piles beyond the fenced perimeter. Pull up to the booth to check in, then follow signs or staff directions to the appropriate area for your load. The lot is mostly gravel and open, so trucks and trailers are common; bring a tarp if hauling loose material. Weekends and spring cleanup days can line up traffic, and it’s not a place for delicate backing maneuvers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose debris under a tarp before getting there-winds pick up and loose loads can be messy for everyone.
- Have everything sorted by type (bulky items separate from brush) so unloading takes less time once directed where to go.
- Bring something sturdy to help with heavy lifting like gloves and a dolly; the site is functional, not hand-holding.
